bc racing cost 200-300 more then tein also I'm guessing you do have 20s and the ride is still the same as stock? can you post some pics please?

^^^ Actually BCRacing coils are less expensive than Tein CST. I would say the ride isn t like stock but is by no means harsh, the suspension is sportier. Most of the ride quality loss I experience is from the smaller tires I have, and not so much the suspension. The monotube design of my coilover doesn t compress the spring in order to raise and lower the strut, so the lower you go doesn t mean the stiffer the ride gets. Unless you crank up the dampening to all the way hard.

BCR would be less expensive than the CSTs and we can do custom set to mimic a "Comfort" set like we did for ikapimp. The advanatge over the Teins would be that you have more ride height adjustabiltiy as well.

If anyone is interested or wants more info feel free to PM us
