I had a set. In all honesty, I would safely say that they were way too stiff for DD. The difference between a proper track and city streets is night and day. I would seriously not recommend them for DD.

BTW, the rear's blew for no reason at all...at the same time and I wasn't too happy about that.

I run BC's on my EG civic........love them, wouldn't change a thing


12 K front, 14 k rear........have had them for over 17 track days and drive the car around town.......Also to Expo 5 and back which was a 2500 mile trip.......no problem.

PIC is also good, have not run their stuff......but heard from others it is good. I am all about BC since that is the only coilover i've run and never had a problem

Had mine on the R for about 7 months DD ..one of the rears blew, but BC USA fixed it for free all i paid was shipping. I sold them shortly after that and herd the new owner had problems as well.....but it is one sick set-up soooooooooooooo firm....
