I had my bc's fitted by them, seem ok, although wouldn't advise getting there geo setup done by them, took my car to get a service at chevron the day after and they checked the geo and said its all over the place

I was going to ask about coil overs myself. I have noticed that nobody seems to mention Bilstein or KW which we all used on the Focus RS. Why is this? The BC's that seem to be popular are considered just a budget option and not in the same league as the two I mentioned.

Then had AST and then BC coilovers.
Can't say I really noticed much difference between AST and BC, both OK but AST seemed to need rebuilding a lot, hence change to BCs.
What did you not like about the BCs?

I've had the BCs on for a year and a half and they're fine for me. I must admit mine were custom ones. I ordered long travel ER series with plusher internal damping and they transformed my car. I had the GEO done too which always helps but the ride quality is so much better. Having the separately adjustable compression and rebound helps too.
I used 6kg/5kg springs with assister flat springs on but have recently changed to 5kg/4kg for a smoother ride. Can't fault. The crappy roads haven't caused any corrosion either.
