Well, I guess I should say my good-bye's to everyone now then?
Hey Kyle, the amount they cost doesn't ALWAYS equal quality. If I had to do it all over, I'm not sure I would've paid $1800 for mine and I definitely wouldn't pay $2500 for them right now. I'd rather be on stock springs if that was the option. If you're serious I can get up with you this weekend.
I'm currently running Tein Flex coilovers, Cusco swaybars, Whiteline Endlinks, SPL solid diff bushings. I think the car's turning pretty well. Just want to give you a little reference.
When they were brand new, they retailed for $1800.00. Currently a new set is starting at $2,000.00+.

Make me an offer that's over $300 and you've got first dibs.

When both the HKS and the BC were laid side by side, the BC [while less in price] gave me move adjustability. [Not sure if I took a pic of them side by side]
I'm sure others will chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, but unless you plan on seriously tracking your car an overly expensive pair isn't required. As a DD I'm sure I should be fine with the BC coilovers. However only time will tell with this I guess.

The BCs that were on my STi sucked ***** my RS felt better in the corners. Barny liked them on his Z tho so idk maybe you will like them. As for STi > Z I would say the STi is nicer in the fact you can fit more people and stuff in it and it holds its value way better then the Z. If I get rid of my Z probably gonna pick another STi back up.
My budget is between 1,500-2,000 trying to find the best system for starting out at the track. Decided to pick up another car and dedicate the Z to track/drift car. Tired of drifting around POS 240s

Kyle your car would perform just fine in stock form on the track, spend that money on seat time instead so you actually know what kind of set-up you like... and if you plan on drifting then head out to drift nirvana on sunday's and forget about buying coils, it will be a waste...
oh man yea those BC's on the STi sucked, car felt very unstable, but I think they were already junked out when you got the car.
