Unless you are having a professional SUPSENSION expert install the coilovers, you are susceptible to possible issues down the road. I'm not a licensed, insured mechanic by any means...but been around enough modified suspensions to know what to do and how to fix issues. I still swear that the cluck issue is installation error or possibly the rubber upper mount. Got pillowball mounts on my BCRs, never had a day's issue and or noises from them.

If installed correctly, the BCRs are the best bang for your buck!

yeah the odd thing is rubber tops are supposed to be quieter than pillow tops.

What did you end up buying? BR Plus with Swift Springs?

BR with BC springs. Aren't the Swifts 100 per spring? Anyways with my lack of experience, it's hard to make the decision to install them or not. I've tried to reach out and got some mixed answers and some people didn't even respond (way too elite for nubs) so who knows. All that I do know is I will be damned to have a clunking noise.

did you guys check the damper adjuster? My friend BC coil clunking noise was fixed by taping the damper adjuster. It's been months now and there is no clunking noise from that day
