Very nice! Happy to hear it, actually. I love options.

Here's all I want:

Front and rear camber plates
double lockrings
strut travel. like...almost twice what the BC's come with now.
less adjustment settings, more definition.
i'd be interested in trying out that magical 7k-5k or 7k-6k spring rate too.
maybe use swift springs?
has to be dual height adjustable.

I understand this costs big bucks to do right, but dual height adjustability with double adjustable shocks and loads of strut travel sounds great to me.

Any updates Twisties? How'd they hold up over winter?

Any new info on BC making better/higher end coilovers?

no real updates, they've been on the car through winter now and we still have another month of it to go yet. I haven't futzed with the car during this time.

The camber plate on my passenger side is noisy, could be a bad bearing and needs to be replaced. They can only take so many potholes and hits with the roads around here, haha.

Other than that, no real updates. I'm going to be upgrading to some RCE T2's in a couple months and selling these as I transition to a better track setup.

No updates on the advanced BC offering

the upgraded bc's are taking longer then i expected, on the positive note, they actually test their products before bringing them to market to give the customer the best possible product...instead of recalling things

I still want to test the new one out when they comes. Josh you still got my number right.

i cant decide on dropping a grand on these or some ohlins fixed-perch dampers

totally different purposes.

ohlins are made for daily driving comfort with the ability to do well on the track with some adjustment of the damper.

these are made for sport driving on the street and autocross ability with light track work. they're more comfortable than the stock struts on springs, but they aren't going to be as comfortable as the ohlins are.

i hear ya, im thinking ohlin's and an agrressive spring to match (swift, rce's), along with my sways would be perfect. Car is DD only. I dont realllyyy want to have to worry about bargain coilover parts having issues, noise. Only thing pushing me towards coils is that theyre better matched for an aggressive wheel setup - 18x9-9.5... More available fiddle factor with ride heights, camber top/adjustablility to make the wheels fit

FWIW, my buddy runs Ohlins with JDM Pinks and LOVES it. Great DD setup for sure.
