Tein SS seems to be the most well-liked and durable...if you can afford it they would be a good choice. Tein Basics work too, although the only adjustment you have is height. I had Ksports, and they were fine, but I had also heard about issues after a year or so of daily driving them (I only put something like 4-5K miles on them, don't remember exactly).

i havent been able to find any reviews on BC. at least you know Tein is a reputable company that offers 1 year warranty if u buy from an authorized dealer.

i meant for the 01-05 coupes, but you can be thefirst one to give us a review. People usually steer away from anything made in Taiwan though

Their website makes them sound pretty legit. Mackin Industries aka Volk wheels world wide distributor is doing photo shoots and what not with them.
You can select your own spring rate and they will install the springs and re-valve the dampers.
They have some racing behind them also.
I say get them and write a review.

no one has personal experience with these that i know of. i didnt even know they were available for our cars. Just be safe and stay away from Taiwanese stuff if you're really that concerned.
reputable brands include Tein and Progress.

because they arent as reputable as say Tein or Progress. I don't know any people have used them specifically for our cars. Taiwanese products are not known to be very good quality. But like you said, WRX guys use them - so maybe thats good enough? So unless someone with them can chime in why specifically not to, then its up to you...

I haven't heard of BC racing coilovers for our cars. I'd go with Teins or other reputable companies. I'm planning to get some Tein SS-P for my car. Anybody know where I can get some for cheap?
