BC coilovers 14/10k review
Just installed , overall the ride is not harsh, only on hard bumps, handling is solid , dampening is good and takes time to adjust to satisfied level while driving.
Also took very important preventative precautionary steps to secure the longevity of these coils.
1 Anti seize the threads
2 Zip tie strut boot dust cover
3 wrap in plastic contractor bags or buy coilover covers
reason being is unlike KW (Stainless Steel) BC' are aluminum. Protect the investment
Plan to wrap/Zip tie whole coil once rims n fitment is dialed in
Reference pic for coil covers

*would have done that
also dirt/grime will still get in there (even under the actual coilover covers) but especially under what he used which is essentially just a thicker glad garbage bag.thread locker was a great idea though

Holy anti seize, you could have probably gotten away with maybe a tenth of what you put on lol. But that'd definitely a neat trick to keep em going for longer. I drift and drive my car almost daily so unfortunately my coil inserts will be toast in less than the time needed to really do any corrosion.
How are you liking those spring rates really tho? I'm running 20k/18k (drifting) and use to have some JIC magic coils about the same 14k/10k. It seemed like I was always rubbing and scraping with such a low spring rate. I would say overall my new BC's feel fine. The bumpiness could be because you have the dampening too high. Even with my really high spring rates I don't feel the bumps too much because I have the dampening set about halfway. Just some food for thought.
