New Wheel just came in!!!!
#48
are the bc racing coil's really that comfortable of a ride? my d2's rode like crap... and will they still be comfortable with the coil's fully dropped?

Sell both and get a nice Forged set! I'm officially broke for the next few months till I can afford a set of wheels, but when I do buy, i'm going forged just like you FL roads are not very forgiving.
BCR Coilovers nice perks are that u can get custom spring rates.... Also if you don't want to compress the springs too much, BCR Coilovers have a lower adjustment where you can move the struts up and down for further adjustment. Apparently so were your D2 coilovers.
EDIT: Apparently 80% of these Honda owners hated their D2 coilovers, with the exception of a few.....

A lot of weight loss too when you go from conventional wheels to forged wheels

I don't know of anyone here that's used D2 coilovers. Your coilover comfortability depends on how you adjust them, the type of spring rates you purchased, and the dampening system you can adjust by. Full rebound will be a bit stiffer, but overall comfortability should be better IMO.

Lexus doesn't lie, you should be just fine then hahaha.... I'm sure other shops would tell you otherwise though. Did you specify it steers to the left a bit?
You also have to take notice, that our cars have electronic steering racks, you will feel every bit of sensitivity on the road.

Got the caliper painted!
Got the caliper painted! No more mods for this baby!! Thinking about trading it in for a new is-f but I don't like the inside bc it is too small compare to this GS and i don't like the new GS either. Its too boxy for me. Any suggestion on what I should look into? Or maybe just keep it.. It never gave me any problem and I still love my baby..the new is-f sport is so tempting though..

The 3GS, especially modded just looks really cool.
Instead I think I will just wait until whatever coupe is coming and consider that. It would be just a consideration because I do like the 3GS.
