I'm looking at possibly buying some, but what does it do to the ride quality? I drive from Utah to Oregon at least twice a year and don't want it to completely suck.

How low are you looking to lower it? That will make all of the difference.

the 30 way adjustable dampening gives you a great range of comfort settings. I love mine

The dampening adjustment helps, but it also depends on the spring rates you are getting and how low you want it.

I don't want to lower it a ton, I'm not planning on rolling or tucking or cutting anything. I just don't want my AWD to look like an SUV anymore. I have absolutely no idea how to even adjust coilovers-I'm way out of my element here :P

I love the ride on my BC's, keep in mind though since you have a AWD once you lower it you will notice vibrations at complete stops due to the AWD system. This is usually normal for most but some might get lucky than others and not feel anything at all.

Sounds good. I just have to find a good deal for them now

Since BCs are a fully threaded coilover, ride quality won't change no matter how low you get.
Reason is because ride height is adjusted independently from the shock. This means amount of piston travel remains the same no matter how low you go.

Spring rate and quality of the shock will determine ride quality. Luckily, BCs are valved pretty good for the rates you get. Since you will be making long drives, you probably want stock spring rates.

Since you dont plan to go slammed, maybe you should look into springs and save money?

I'm not going slammed either but alot of people on the threads are just ending up gettin coilovers.

BC coilovers rides pretty good for it's price. It's not the best coilovers but a pretty good bang for the buck coilover. When bought new, it's available with pillowball or rubber top mounts, and custom spring rates. Comfort seems important to you so you would want rubber top mounts and probably the standard 10k front/8k rear spring rate since you won't be too low or tucking. If longevity is important to you, BC coilovers have replaceable shocks as well instead of having to send them to be rebuilt.

So you're saying if I slam my car as low as the BC's will allow me to go my ride quality won't be harsh? (assuming of course the tires don't rub) That's news to me. I'm about to order a set of BCR's for my wife and this will be great news for her cause she was under the impression that the ride would be crappy if we tuck rim into the fender

Correct, the lower sleeve is the part to adjust for ride height and locks with the lower ring. The two upper rings are to adjust spring preload. Lower sleeve does not connect directly to the springs. This type of coilover, changing the ride height will not affect the amount of shock travel.

Pictures of my BC's vs Tein Super Streets.

Notice the Tein, when adjusting height, the lower the height, the shorter the shock travel.

If set up correctly your ride should be pretty good.

We can get you a set and help you get them setup for the way you want to drive, just shoot us a PM
