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)

Then there are the BC BR's.

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.

Basically I'm looking to lower the car right able a set of 16x8 0 offset rims with a 195/50/r16 tire and be able to preload so there won't be a bunch of rub when I hit bumps or take corners quick. I may be doing a bit of autocross as well.

BCs let you preload the springs. The body is threaded so the preload setting is independent from the lowering setting. It's also rebound adjustable if I'm not mistaken, just like most other coilovers (Megans, D2)

You can also contact them to see if you can order an "extreme drop package".

not one single coilover on the market has rebound adjustment for our cars except hotbitz which is a custom made coilover. All coilovers available have compression adjustment. I check the pricier ksport coilovers which cost $1500 and they do not say they have rebound adjustment

rebound adjustment is for coilovers that are used on the track.

Yes I was mistaken, I confused the names.
