I know this wasn't one of your options, but I'm riding on Megan Racing coilovers and I have no regrets on these! The ride is way better than I expected. Especially coming from Eibach springs.
I've crank my coilovers down to no gap and they ride pretty well, but I have recently raised it up to a one finger gap, cause the speed bumps at work are fricken crazy high!

Adjusting isn't that big of an issue, just inconvenient. I believe all BC's come with pillowball mounts. The only ones I can recall off the top of my head are the Tein SS, but I'm not even sure if those come with rubber mounts or people just use their stock ones. I do remember seeing some BC's without front camber plates, maybe you can use the OEM mounts on those? I'd give tech@bcracing-na.com a shout to see if there's any way to use OEM rubber mounts with their coilovers, that is if you don't need camber plates.
As for the front camber, I did add a bit of negative camber, not sure what degree it is.

Like Joe said adjusting the rear isn't that big of a deal it just takes a little longer on the BC's. With the high/low suspension in the rear you just have to be careful to adjust them evenly or you'll end up with either some slow speed chatter or bounce. My coilovers are set lower than most and the ride doesn't bother me at all but I bought them for performance purposes. I never expected a smooth ride but they ended up riding just as good as my RL springs which I didn't think were harsh at all. Obviously ground clearance is an issue but I get around without problems. Even with being as low as I am in the front there was no need to adjust the camber plates since the oem range was still able to compensate. Also with the BC's you don't adjust suspension travel just the height of it so they aren't going to wear out (have to be rebuilt) any faster. In other words it makes no difference to these how low or high you are.
All that being said I would recommend the BC's. I've pushed them hard and I couldn't be happier.
You can see the spring and separate shock here..

that type of ride isnt bad at all im on progress springs now and i dont think they are harsh at all even though some say it is...
i dont think clearance will be an issue, however i would like to mess with the camber for offset reasons.So there is only camber adjustment for the front and not the Rear on these BC am i wrong???
good stuff man i would like to be dropped as low as possible here and there
without the worry of bottoming out. and thanks for all the positive feedback thanks to you and the other members feedback iv decided going with BC..

You'll love them. Keep an eye out on this and other forums for a group buy. I got mine for $870 shipped. Theres no camber adjustment in the rear so if you go low enough and care about your alignment you'll have to at least install Altima/Maxima/Z camber arms. I'd stay away from the ones with rubber bushings since I've seen pics of them failing (Ichiba).
