^Either that or knockoff BC's as the color is that of a BC. They are good for the price point. I have driven 2 cars equipped with BC's and they handle nice and seem to hold up for DD. CO's are not meant for DD anyways so this was one of the main reason I did not go the CO route. Will be curious to see how long they hold up for you before parts need to be replaced

So that's how things work. You buy first, then ask questions...

Not entirely true. IMO Progress coilovers are street friendly, and Boss Chens and Teins as well.

Haven't heard anything bad about BC coilovers that's why I bought them, just wanted to hear the opinion of the org.

Tein CO's can get super expensive. I like the company, but wow.. those things can really go up there in price!

Teins aren't too expensive, JIC's take the cake at $1850 for a set.

Im coming from Daiyamas (Boss Chen's) and absolutely LOVED em! Had to let em go because I had to make ends meet. Im on BC's now and they fucckin suck IMO. Too much rebound and not enough dampening. They arent ergonomically balanced.

I didn't know that Daiyamas were the same thing as Boss Chens

I have two sets then. One on Blitz Max and the other on Black Max.
