In the market for some coils. Wondering if anyone has purchased bc for their 2011-2013 sti wagon? Just want to see if they are worth it. If anyone can give their 2cents of these coils street, track etc. It probably won't see a lot of track days. It's daily driven. If they are crap guess ill save up for some rce or kw.

 

Have you considered feal 441?

Only a few hundred more than the bc and far better from what I've heard and read.
Haven't had either haha, just read a lot of reviews haha.

 

one thing i have learned: you get what you pay for.

 

Probably better overall cause they come with swift springs. I'm going to look into them tho.

 

BC's are great. I've never had a problem. When the feels came out I had just purchased a set of BC's and would've baught those instead. But either choice is great

 

BC's are garbage. As was said before, you get what you pay for. If you want to lower your car, and only care about going low, bc it is. They will be rough, stiff, bouncy, just horrible as a driver.

If you want all the cool adjustability and stuff, get a nice coilover setup. Be prepared to spend a couple grand.
If you want a great ride, but don't want to throw away money on track suspension for a street car, get a good spring and strut combo.

I ran bc coilovers and am now running koni yellow struts with eibach springs (heard good about h&r and swift, bad about tein) and I'm much happier with the new setup.
Not bouncy, but firm. Not rough, not harsh. Sticks to the ground better since every bump doesn't hit so hard I lose traction...

Buy what you want, but if you get bc, I told you so...

 

Exactly why I'm doing my research. Sounds like a its a hit or miss with these coils. I'm actually lookin into gtworx with rce. I don't wanna spend alittle to get poor ride quality. I don't mind saving up alittle more. Thanks for the info

 

wheres BRFATAL?

 

+1

The RCE/GTWorx set-up isn't bad. I haven't heard much about the GTWorx shocks, but I know RCE springs are pretty sweet.

I had BC's on my hatch and they sucked. They sucked on the street, they sucked at AutoX, and they didn't go as low as I wanted to go.

I've switched to Konis and '12 WRX springs and the ride is so much better and the car is much more planted in the corners. My next step is to get a set of Ground Control perches which will offer more spring options and adjustable height.

 

Sounds like a good setup you have. I've gone low in my 06 wrx it looked nice but didn't handle very well. I'm tryin to sway away dropping it really low. Just want the ability to adjust my drop even. Some springs tend to sag in the rear.
Thanks for the info
