I am not sure what you mean when you mention that the minus of the BC racing coilovers is a firm ride, Mine actually ride better than stock at soft settings.

Can anyone elaborate if this is due to the design of the BC coilovers? i havent heard about this issue on other coilover brands so is this normal?

Is BC coils nitrogen or oil filled?

If you get a pillowball mount coilover, from any manufactuer you can expect a little bit of noise.

Rubber mounts will alleviate most clunks and noise, we usually sell the rubber mounts as standard.

You must also realize that removing the stock suspension and going to ANY coilvoer will result in more road and chassis nosie.

Any more feedback re: BC Racing vs. Tein CST? About to pull the trigger on some coils and would like to be as close to stock ride as possible. Seems like BCR is the way to go. Any other coils in this category? Thanks!

PS: Shocked to hear the Tein's have problems. They're marketing (and pricing) made me assume they were the "best."

The BC BR coils will serve you well and please if comfort is key,do not get the pillowball mounts. I now only sell the rubber mounts since there is no benefit on the double wishbone unless you alter the strut angle with arm length changes. I run them on my ISF and am very pleased with the price and performance. Plus the price dropped this year, so it should be a no brainer. Hit me up if you want a deal and the lowest price around.
