What's the spring rate? Standard BC's are like 10k/8k i think. That's what I got. Feels soft for me. It's all a matter of preference. Some guys love to ride on frame basically, some complain about it not being soft enough. I say get the most ballin' and race-worthy components and you can't go wrong.

like anything else, it depends on your budget, your intended uses for the car, etc.

Just installed mine last night and I love how the height of the car and the feel of it is great. (coming from tein s-tech's) The rear can go lower but I waiting to see if I want it lower or not. Opinions?

^looks nice imo... how much lower can the back go? i want to lower it just to have the back tires tucked in.

i was wondering are vendors only selling the VH verison?
on the BC Racing site i see a VS model that's monotube... how much is that?

the BC coilovers everyone has are monotubes - the other version is the lower end model that they reserve for private label stuff.

I would raise the front up just a little and lower the rear a little to level it out and give the front bumper a little more clearance.

MrToeknee, I think you're a little too low in the front. The rear is fine, but I think you should raise the front some more. Do you daily drive it that way? Seems like you would scrape on most driveways.
