Default Stance LX vs BC Racing

Im currently on the fence between buying one of these 2 coilover setups for my G. I know its usually all based on opinion, but does anyone have any input on what would be the better buy of the 2 considering quality, comfort, drop height. and adjustablity (<- idk if thats a word lol). Im running Axis Shines which are 20x10 in rear with a +20 offset and 20x9 in front with +10 or 15. Im not looking to slam it to ground, jus drop a bit so wheel can slightly tuck into fender well without the whole super bouncy uncomfortable feel. Basically which is the overall better street coilover?

I have the BC one for 2 years now, the quality is great, but i strongly suggest you get the shorter springs.

Are the shorter springs the 210s? (as compared to i believe 230s?) And do you think i'd be able to reach a drop such as the one below with them? Im pretty much running the same size wheel and offset as the one in this pic

Yes, that is the route im going for. Stance is a pretty reputable brand as well as BC. I havent really heard anything bad about either of the 2 as far as quality is concerned. I think that is why ive been having such a hard time deciding between the 2. Only negative aspects ive heard about BCs are the limited drop height, which is fine because im not lookin to go tooo crazy with it. The pic below would be perfect for me. Im jus trying to figure out which would be the all around better buy.

With the BC's i could easily lower the rear to the point of no gap (with proper height tires) ride quality was OK, but if you want comfort get a quality coilover. Besided your supposed to be ballen, rocken the ghetto sized SUV wheels on your sports car. What is an extra couple hundred $$$$, def worth it in the long run.

Ha Ha, really?. Ur funny... An inch larger than the average 19" Z/G wheel and 2.85 lbs heavier and all of a sudden there an "SUV" wheel. Riiiiiight. Some ppl jus cant help but talk sh*t. Go somewhere. If ur not answer the question i dont wanna hear it

He answered your question. He said he had BC and they are not quality. I have had stand GR+ Pros for a year now, I wouldn't call them high quality either. But they are tolerable on the street and can go much lower than you described wanting to go.

(Yea i know, i coulda delt without the sarcastic comment after tho). From wut i hear, the LX+s are suppose to be a lil smoother than the GR+s? Are the drop ranges the same? Im not looking for anything stiff enough for track use, but i do want something that will perform well when its time to have a lil fun on the street

the fact of the matter is you are not going to be able to achieve that rideheight and comfort, without bounce

the suspension only has but so much travel to it...reduce that travel, and your ride quality suffers as a result

so, you're left to pick 1 - a tucked look to your tire/body, or a higher rideheight with proper ride quality
