Whelp. Trying to decide if I want to go with D2 RS coilover system or BC BR's. I'm getting about $1,100 back in tax returns, so I can afford either.
The D2 RS's seem to have more settings, have bodies that are aluminum and are electroplated to resist rust. They're also purple and black. (Would match the lug and caliper theme I've got going) http://www.ebay.com/itm/D2-RACING-RS-COILO...16e&vxp=mtr Then there are the BC BR's. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BC-Racing-BR-Coilo...619&vxp=mtr Anyone have insight on either of these two setups? I feel like Timmy said he has them on his car, but I can't remember. Whoops. Could a moderator move this to Suspension and handling? >.> sorry. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.

im running about 3.5" drop, my tire is up there in the fender tucked. i have new control arms to install anyway so not worried too much about wear. i had a camber bolt kit, but cant find it anymore. but my ride feeels super awesome same with the BCs - i dont worry about potholes and bumps. i dont like slowing down, i dont want people to think im stupid for dropping my car if im just gonna slow them down and inconvenience them. but what you said, i think lowering the car sacrifices suspension travel no matter what, but these budget coilovers have done a real good job cus I dont even feel like its dropped.
