Default bc coilovers

i feel like my bc coilovers are garbage coilovers waste of money!!! my ltuned springs with one cut coil road alot smoother, one thing i dislike about the bc coilovers are that the front doesn't even tuck my 19's but the rear will tuck wheels!! I read up on the coilovers prior to purchasing them from ciruitmotorsports and heard mostly good things about them, but from driving on them, they ride rough and seem like bouncy, anyone else experiencing issues with there bc coilovers???? or is it just me

what do most people set there damping level at?

Thats true that the fronts doesnt tuck on 19's. If you dont like stiff, you should have got the custom spring. Im running 8k/6k at 23 clicks on 18's. And they are smooth. But i soon gonna be running on 19's and i bet the ride is gonna change.

did you adjust the dampening to your likings? you have to find the balance between your height and the ride stiffness. I.E 16 clicks was good to me when i was on megans... not sure if it applies on your BC coilovers.

Yeah i absolutely love my BC coils. My only regret is that i didn't pick a high enough spring rate. I only went with 12k/10k and ride around on full stiff. It's pretty stiff but not how firm i want it to be.

Have any of you guys who've elected to run the softer spring rates, have you noticed if the ride is kind of bouncy?
