Bc vs D2 Coilovers opinion

Fix? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. What am I? French? I'm not FIXING budget coilovers. I'm buying new ones. I didn't FIX my BCR's. I sold'em (full disclosure on the knock that got annoying). I'll probably sell these this fall and grab some Stance GR+. Not cuz there's something wrong. That's just how I get down. Those are budgets with a lifetime warranty. BCR has a warranty. D2 has a warranty as well. I just go through wheels/suspension/cars. So, that type of crap is irrelevant to me. I'll probably keep this car for quite some time but I'll never stop being a wheel/suspension/exhaust/motor *****. Everything needs a refresh every now and then. MURICA!!

50k? I don't even WANT coils to run for 50k. I put 700-1000miles a year on my car. These will be lucky to see 10k. And anything over 5k, I got my money's worth.

LOL so much better..
OP you don't want actually good coilovers, go ahead and buy cheap coilovers. I've run them and I regret buying that trash, like all the other naive fools on here with those kinds of coils, I thought my car handled well because it felt super stiff and solid. In reality, it just gives you a harsh ride and false sense of handling that all the "satisfied" owners experience, without really knowing how they were better off with a stock setup.
But it's your car, make believe that the cheap coils are good if you want to and just go with the whole low 'n slow style and you car will handle so poorly it won't even matter.

As it sits now, my car came with enough performance and I didn't loose much (read none) for what I do with my car. I HARDLY drive fast and the only car I've ever slid with up here that blew me out performance wise was a fully tracked R32 out of Canada.
Now, at some point, I may spring for something a bit more performance oriented because after my swap is done, it will be physically impossible for me to ride as low as I am. But, until then, I'm happy with what I do. And you should be to. Not for nothing, you got good info and all. Just stop assuming I have delusions of grandeur based on what I prefer to do with my car. lol

I bought the BC BR coilovers and honestly, after a few months of riding on them Im ready to upgrade, just don't what to upgrade too. I wish I had listened to those who told me to stay clear of BC or cheap coilovers. Don't make the same mistake as I did, save up for the better quality.
