Nothing. Dont worry about it.
Im just rolling my eyes cause in a different thread i suggested 441s or fa500's to a 16 year old on a budget and i get the response " bcs and iscs are fine."
Sure they are fine but dont you want to spend a little more for a lot better product?

I ended up going with BC's with custom 10k/8k spring rates over the 8k/6k. Scoobywax did recommend fortunes and feals and I really wanted fortunes but they were a bit more than I could afford trying to save money where I can. I was quoted $1200 before tax for baseline fortunes (so in the end around 1300 or so depending on whatever fees would come about) and the BC's brand new were $900 flat. No tax, free shipping. $400 is something I would gladly keep in my pocket especially when a longblock rebuild is right around the corner. The only reason i feel confident with my choice is the fact so many people like them. I've ridden in a few cars with BC's and drove one myself and honestly they felt amazing to me compared to oem struts and springs. I'm no baller like you guys with thousands in your suspension so Of course it can't be compared, but I also don't track my car every weekend nor is it practical for me to spend that much when I won't even use it to it's full potential.
My tip is to just go to a meet and ask for rides in others cars and make the decision yourself. After all; it is your money, and your car. I enjoyed BC's on my friends sti with 10/8k springs. It's pretty low and has upgraded sways and end links but it met my standards forsure.

What is wrong with your Intrax coilovers? What model do you have? Mine are great and definitely along the lines of a KW v3. Definitely wasn't my first choice for coilovers, but for the deal I got on them brand new. Couldn't not buy them.
Anybody that doesn't know about Intrax and is saying they're cheap garbage, go jump off the golden gate or actually educate yourself before you jump to a conclusion.

omg, relax guys.... im on a budget and not everybody makes good money. that's like me using progressive shocks on my motorcycle, instead of spending $ for some works shocks that actually work. all i am asking for are opinions. I'm not here to have a debate. ide like to pick the less ****tiest out of the bunch.
HA! Too busy being unhelpful to realize that there were three coilover brands being discussed.
Fail.
