teins are kinda "old technology" with

when Height adjustment via bottom mount (to retain full damper travel), is much better way

@TypeT interesting find. I googled those and ran across this review from a 350z driver BC Racing Suspension (Install, and initial impression) Review - Nissan 350Z Motoring Forums and it appears they have been around awhile too. I'll have to give these a more serious look.

with BC Racing coilovers Duncan Grahams Subaru Impreza won 2009 Time Attack class championship and Norris Designs 900bhp short wheel base Mitsubishi Evo has won 2010 AAA Saloon Cup race series with BC Racing so yep they have been around.

I did some research between difference coilovers (tein, d2, ksport and bc) and imo BC Racing give the best response for my money

I don't know if they sell these anymore but I loved my Tokico Illumina shocks with Tokico Springs Set. It was about $500 dollars for everything. Rode awesome and handled great

I agree with lilredlude. Make up your mind before you do anything because you spend money while you're thinking and you end up spending more than what you wanted in the first place. Plan it out for yourself, so you have a goal for yourself and stick to it. ;0) I have been reading the other threads and I just wanted to let you know that you could adjust the dampening (oscillation) of the Tein Type Flex coilovers with a touch of a button with an EDFC unit; 10 being the softest and 0 being the hardest. Whether it's old technology or not, it's really personal preference. Just thought that I would let you know about that. It was talked about briefly but thought I would just touch more on the subject. All in all, you really get what you pay for. What do you want out of your car? Like I said, stick with a plan and go with it! ;0) Don't mean to lecture, just spending money on your car is a big deal if it's your only car and you could get ****ed if something is not done right. See ya...

Found this link last night on preludepower (forgive me) from a sweet looking Prelude running BC Racing Coils. 5th Gen_ EBPludeSH's OEM+ Progression - Honda Prelude Forum : Honda Prelude Forums .
You'll see the BCs on the first page.

Interesting.
