Awesome, I definitely would like to hear some feedback on the coilovers when they are installed. Definitely best bang for your buck for all those features.

RED_DET, any chance did you confirm my invoice # with BC Racing NA? Pete would most likely know. I also have the batch number if needed.

I provided them the information. I have no confirmation other than the conversation I had on the phone with BC.

Gladly. There will be a 3rd gen and a coupe putting these through their paces in a little over 2 weeks... as long as we get them installed in time.

Viper, in my previous post, I posted the invoice #. The number you are seeing is the batch number and rates. How do you like them so far?

I haven't put them on yet, so they are mocking me right now until either today or tomorrow after work.

So this is the kind of luck I have.... the one day that my boss wants to take everybody to lunch is the only day UPS shows up at lunchtime. Now I have to sneak out of here once I know I can go pick it up since I'm not going to have any time past tonight and Sunday to put these on. FML. On the up side I have a tank of gas treated with seafoam I have to burn before NICOfest and I haven't driven the car since Monday.

*edit* Well the UPS guy is on my Christmas card list since he just stopped on his way back to drop these off. Thats great news since they were going to make me wait til 8 to pick these up. Let the fun begin.

Coilovers installed yesterday..... took me 5 hours by myself with hand tools. (Racingline endlinks were giving me some trouble adjusting them).

Haven't messed with the height, but have played around with the dampening settings, definitely like them firm.....

I really like the change in ride characteristics, handling got better (more stable ride), and it actually seems to absorb bumps better than the eibach setup. The only thing thing that will take some getting used to to is the increased bounciness of the ride.

Overall I would say that these are way better than the eibach setup, and I cant wait to slam it if Im brave enough.

I'm just about to take my car out for the first time since installing these. Since I'm moving I've been driving my truck every day. Just a heads up to any other 3rd gens BUY 2 LOCKING M12 1.25 FINE PITCH NUTS BEFORE YOU GO TO INSTALL THESE. The kit still comes with the wrong size nuts for the shocks. I left everything as it came so i figured I'll let it settle in before I do any height or damping adjustments. So far its about a 1/4-1/2 inch lower than my Racinglines were but we'll see what happens.

If your bouncing around try adjusting the rear shocks to be a little softer. It takes some trial and error but I just got it to stop bouncing around. I went about half way in the rear between hard and soft.

I don't believe so.

Send an email or PM to "RED_DET" - he may be able to help you out with pricing.

I was going to send you a PM but I can't find out how to...

What would the pricing be like? Only asking because I'd like to know before I commit to it.
