| Hey all My name is kash (short for khashayar) and I drive a 04 wrx. I come from a honda background and have recently made the switch over to the AWD, factory turbo world and I'm loving it so far. I used to drive a 1999 accord that I miss very much. It was not the fastest car in the world but I will always remember it for the memories it carried with it. Pic of the accord Had Header back exhaust Tein S tech springs Rota boost 17x8 In dash DVD player Tint and a few more little things The WRX EZR Downpipe SRS catback Grimmspeed EWG up pipe/ with block off plate XPT stage 2 map More to come later

BC's seem to go pretty low and handle pretty good at the same time. | |

| I've heard bad things about BC from mazda people but I think they are one of the cheaper setups. Could just be haters too.
KW are supposed to be some of the best but they are hella expensive for the variant 2 or 3.
I've also heard people say that coils get really pwned by snow/salt which makes me hesitant about dropping that kind of coin on a set in MI. | |

| i think its the snow/salt buildup on there, is really based on whether or not you get SS coils or not, and what kind of coating you have on them, but i dont know for sure | |

| BC's go pretty low and handle really good for their price, also BC has this policy where if something happens to your coilover(s), they'll replace each one for a 100 bucks. | |

| yeah but I'd say it's well worth it if you ever want to adjust them again after the first winter. | |

| The only thing I don't like about KW V1s is that they have no dampening adjustment, other than that they are an excellent setup. And to answer your question Dani, the reason many of us like BC racing is because there are lot's of good reviews and they are downright cheap as far as decent coilovers go. I would be curious to know why the Mazda guys don't like them, and I will however be honest, most of the reviews I've read were on Subaru forums. Another reason like many people stated before was the warranty. The simple fact that the shocks are rebuild-able is a good sign. | |

| True about the damping. V2 and V3's solve that but are hella expensive! On my next car I want the V3's with the hydraulic lift feature for speedbumps! | |
