im interested in getting my first set of coils (BCracing) but wondering if they are a hassle to deal with? I dont want to be bothered every week with having to mess with them. Also what about repbuilding them? I dont want to rebuild every 6 months or year. Id like them to last a awhile.

Coilover are made for you to adjust the height you want. If you keep messing with them that just mean you either want to go lowwer or raise it up. Most of us just set it and forget it. As for rebuild it can last for years. As i've hear member on the forum run it past 25k without a rebuild. So what the hassle? None. For the rebuild on the BCR its like $95 kit for each one and can be done yourself. Which to me is cheaper than buying new shocks oem or after market.

^^+1 I've had my car for 4 months, bought springs after 1 month and now waiting for coils to be put on this Tuesday. I should have just put coils to begin with. After hearing people's opinions on coils on this forum, it shouldn't be a hassle as far as rebuilding goes.

i definitely plan on setting them to a minimal drop and not messing with them again. Do you need to do any maintanance or whatever on them before a cold winter sets in?
Also how is installation? I wont be installing them myself instead giving them to my local mechanic to install. Do coils go in just like any other shock and spring?

the damping asjustments couldnt be any easier.... but the height is where you need some patience, first you isntall them and let the springs settle a lil bit. then youll find yourself adjusting until you find a sweet spot. I am very picky.. i want all 4 courners to be exactly the same height tho
