I received new shocks from BC racing but i have yet to replace them yet just because I'd have to get a shop to do it and its going to cost me extra...

I bought these coils from a year ago and the ride really has turned to crap... every little bump it feels like death and clunking on ever bump .. i get so nauseated driving the car its not even fun anymore

I really don't know what to do ... seriously thinking of going back to stock

How can the ride deteriorate so quick over a year? It should be as good as it gets from the day 1.

Yeah, I got your point. But majority of coilover in here are BC Racing and Megan. I found similar complain from Megan owner as well. So I just thought it might has something to do with the endlink as well.

Still trying to figure out what route to go myself.

I've had BCRs on my 350 since Jan '12 and put ~20k miles on them; no problems to speak of here.

After getting mine installed, my right rear is clunking also. Not on most bumps or even big bumps but more like sharp bumps. Driving me nuts. I'll try the preload and the nuts tomorrow. Then if that doesn't work, I'll try switching R and L units. Sigh...

Having said that, I did notice that the springs are VERY close to the frame. Anybody actually FIX this problem yet?

Had mine installed last week (12k/10k setup) and I have had no issues with noise at all. It is worth mentioning that my Buddy at the shop I go to said that it could very well be coming from the sway bar bushings. He said that you are suppose to put a load on the rear before everything is tightened up. If this is not done it will cause premature wear on the bushings.

Is there any consensus about the clunking over sharp bumps at low speeds getting worse with mileage? I have megan LP's and had no complaints for the first few months it rode and sounded fine. But as months went by the clunking and noises got worse but ride quality remains fine.

I have BC but I agree. I was just thinking that to myself yesterday. I have logged about 10k and the clunk in the rears has become progressively worse. Still rides good though yet a little rougher.
