If you want performance over quietness then pillow ball
if you want the other way around then rubber

I have them with pillowball. the car wont handle better, but the steering feel is improved. it gets more responsive. The downside is that at the beginning they made a little bit of noise and some of it now went away. Also they say that if they dont las as long as rubber mounts.
I think a good balance would be to get rear rubber and front pillowball. GL

One reason to go with BC coils is to get a decent ride quality. Chances are, the rubber mounts will be good enough. Some will say pillow ball mounts makes noise, but I just think the ones they use are crappy

For a street driven car, go with rubber upper mounts.

If you have any other questions on the BC coilovers, or want some help getting a set, feel free to PM us
