Review/Input in bc coilovers
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.

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...

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.

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.
