thanks Kevin! I really wanted to get the KW Variants but they just were not in my budget. but the BC's are really great and they are pretty stiff which is what I was looking for.

Looks like you pulled off AGX's? What springs were you running???
The ride ~ does it pound you??? I just put on F2's with 7K Front and 5K Rear ~ it puts a serious hurt on the ride anywhere on the street or highway. My old set up was not soft and I matched the drop ~ Swift/AGX. I want my old set up back on now.
How much did you pre-load the springs? I turned the perch nut with my hand until I couldn't turn it anymore and then added 2 full turns tighter with the wrench...
On a scale of 1-10 how do you rate the ride now???

well the ride is not too bad, definately a lot stiffer than my stock STi suspension, but not too the point where it kills you. the springs are 10k fronts/8k rears so they are relatively stiff but on a scale of 1-10 with my stock suspension being a 5, i'd give these a good 8. turn in is a lot smoother and and the steering is more precise feel as well. once I get the sway bars and the fender brace i'm sure it will be alot better!

haha...its already rubbing on the inside fender on hard corners. 245/40/17's are not my friend at the moment 
. I'm thinking about raising it a little to get some clearance for the inner fender.
