Not to step in on your thread but I am looking into coilovers as well and I was looking at the Cusco Zero-2e coilovers. You guys know of anyone running them? With the optional electronic controller it makes it super easy to do some adjustments. I know they are spendy but with the controller it just seems to be worth the money.

Because I've heard some really good things about those coilovers, but they do cost over 2K. The optional electronic controller is a waste in my opinion. I think you have to be alittle lazy if you didn't just pop your hood and twist a few ***** here and there.
If I'm not mistaken. Go to rallysportdirect.com and talk with one of the "live chat" employees because one of they have those coils on their car
Hope this helped

Haha! I don't think that I could justify spending $400 dollars just so I don't have to adjust them manually. I am a daily driver who likes to do some spirit driving but I know for sure I don't want a super stiff suspention. I think I will end up with something a little less expensive. Thanks for the input!

But I can be completely off. Isn't that controller like Tein's EDFC or something.

Well I think that controller just does dampening if I remember correctly. I don't see 400 bucks being worth it when you can hop out of your car and just turn the *****. I haven't looked into it but if thats the case, ehh. It's not like it will set your camber and set ride height so...

I would spend 400 bucks on control arms (:

Pretty much the same Coilover IMO Which one can you get a better deal on? Thats the one I would go with. But if you want a direct input id cut my springs...haha jk jk. Most people say go with a "Real" Coilover when you mention the two brands. I guess a lot of Subaru and Evo guys are BC fans though.

Well I am going to have to say BCs because you have 30 levels of dampening opposed to 15. You can have rear camber plates unlike the GRs, and alsohave your struts inverted tas well just like the GR+. I know for BCs, you can have them order you different spring rates, I know the WRX BCs come standard in 6k/8k, but I went 8k/8k. I think the BCs for the STi are 8k/10k and the stance GRs are 9k/7k. I am sure the Stance GRs are good, but like hwob90 said, a vast majority of the subaru community chooses BCs...until they can upgrade to something better.
