I haven't given up on the noise. Perhaps removing or adding preload fixes it. I plan to poke around some more this weekend.

@llya

I called both Scale and BC today and both recommend 14k/8k for awd. I'm finally settled on 12k/8k for rwd.

I ordered the Scale coilovers. So well see in a few weeks how the ride is once installed. I got the extreme low version even though I don't plan to go extremely low. ....for now.

Keep us posted. I think I'm going to go with 12/8. I don't want it to be too stiff, even with the added AWD weight. I'm getting coilovers for looks, not necessarily performance. If it dips a bit on bumps I'm okay with that...unless going 14/8 will allow the car to better handle road bumps and pot holes?

I think 14/8 will put you right back to that stock feel. I could be wrong but I think so. 14/8 on a application that not as heavy as a awd will probably feel super stiff. You know what I mean.

Okay, so anyone know where to buy the BC BR-type coilovers with the Swift spring upgrade? Is going direct through BC the cheapest way? RED_DET, I don't see the ability to upgrade springs on your site...is that something you are able to do (not sure if you drop ship or have parts in stock on your shelf)?

I'll be getting them when my taxes come back, me thinks, so trying to get everything documented and ready to go.

You can also contact Sultan Status on Facebook or instagram. He's a bc dealer. He quoted me $995 for coils and $320 for Swift springs. The Swift springs are cheaper if you order with coils compared to $395.
