Default BC Coilovers anyone?

I just stumbled across these (BC Racing BR series: type RS) on a website that had them for a very good price, but i wanted to do some homework first. I see that there are no reviews on these.
So i was wondering if anyone has any experience with them? Any reviews? Any track time with them?

Thanks

there is some reviews of them on the forum and in general pretty much everyone that bought that coilvers seem to be happy ,

I installed the same coilover with custom spring rate last weekend and as for right now they seem fine , still need to let the spring settle to be able to set the ride height properly then get an alignment done.

Cant wait to go on the track in may to try these !

With BC Racing you can get the standard 10/8 or 12/10 spring rates. Though this will cost you a little more money. I just ordered mine this week with the standard rates.

here are two of the links I read:

https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...on-review.html

I also talked to someone over the weekend with a TT Z who had the coilovers. Might wanna try and find some people on the forum and ask them any questions you may have and if possible get a ride with someone that has them.

You can also get the shorter rear spring if you want your car to be a lowrider.

There is also an inverted design but I didn't find much information about it.

Yeah i read both of the ones above, but i was hoping that there would be more people actually giving reviews as opposed to just saying there great.
Thanks for the replies anyway though!

haha yeah most of the reviews are useless. I had hopped the Subi guys would have lots of good technical information but most didn't, there were a few posts thought that had some good info on them.
