Default Need help on coilovers

just recently got my wheels and I cant decide which coilovers to go with? I see BC are a better choice because of my wheels and its stiffer? specs are 19x9.5+22 with 225/35 and 19x11+25 255/35. Im NOT going to be slammed but I do want it low enough to where it looks nice and no gap in between the fender and wheels of course. please chime in if you have any infor! thanks

I have heard great things about the BCs. I just bought the Megan LP coilovers since I am looking for more of a stanced look with a factory ride quality. The BCs or the Megans would work well. Either way you go you will have to do fender work and probably camber in the rear wheels to make them fit.

The BC's are perfect...I just installed them last week and drove about 500 miles this weekend, and it felt perfect...I'm low but not slammed and it still felt smooth as ever...if you get 12/10 spring rates its not hard n not too soft...
