Update on the BC coilover. I just received the coilover yesterday and the bolts are not that long. So if you want to install an STB, you will have to remove the black metal ring.
I'm currently on bilstein and I was able to install the STB with the black metal ring with a lot of thread left over.
After I upgrade the BC coils to swift spring, I will attempt to install the coilovers with the ring to see if enough thread is left or not to use the ring at all. I would prefer to keep the ring+STB if possible.

I'm hoping it won't be an expensive assumption
If it doesn't go well, worse comes to worse, I'll get to try out the hyperco product. And If I like the quality of swift, I'll get a lower spring rate. Then I'll sell the higher spring rate to the track guys around here.
a whole lot of *** in these sentences LOL.
UPDATE
I did not notice a weight difference when I held it. There is one less coil. Diameter of spring appears the same.

i recently installed my bc racing coils. i was running spc upper control arms for about 2 months on tanabe df springs prior to the bcr coils but for some reason when i installed the bc coils it sits about an inch higher than i feel it should. even all the way slammed on the coils it isn't tucking and i know i've seen a bunch of cars here on these coils tucked up front so my question is, is it the coils or the upper control arm? i know someone else posted the exact same problem but never read a definite answer. hopefully someone can shed some light.

Bringing the thread back from the dead... I am getting ready to purchase some BC coils also. Just wondering if I can tuck in the front. Lots of members are saying that it doesn't slam very low compare to other coilovers. CMS vendors if you guys can confirm...it would be greatly appreciated.

Tucking depends on the wheel and tire setup, not just coilover height. The general notion is that you can lower the front even more if you remove the lower collar completely. Or just adjust the upper spring perch. You can have other coilovers than can lower your car further with just the shock body adjustment, but they may have crappy ride/build quality. Half an inch or so difference shouldn't have to be a major factor. The Pros of the BC outweighs the Cons.

I posted a pic of my car fully slammed in the front w/o RCA's in my other thread if you wanna check that out. I have to agree with GSteg, the pros do out weigh the cons. BC coils ride extremely well even fully slammed up front. If you want to tuck tire all you need are RCA's, but just be ready to hear a lot of banging of the UCA on the body.

I'd have to see a pic of the actual coilover with you guys who are "maxed out" to confirm.
If in fact the only reason you can't go lower is because the locking rings are touching, then all you need to do is remove the middle locking ring, and just have the spring seat ring and the lower mount ring, you can get about another .5-1" drop that way.
Please feel free to PM us for pricing or individual setup questions
