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.

MrToeknee,
How many inches lower do you have it there?
