Default BC Coilovers

Due to an unforseen bodyshop bill I'm having to wait for my EXE-TC's for a bit and fit BC Coilovers Type RA to my 2005 STI instead.
Does anyone have these fitted to a newage? What are they like?

Cheers

Frosty has them on his STI, and they are much more compliant than my Teins, but still fully adjustable.

Bren, i currently have eibachs and the original shocks on my 86k miles 03 wrx.
I have read your group buy post and see you have a 'comfy' spring rate too! lol
which springs would compare to my 03 wrx as with the oem springs?
With all the speed humps near my family and possibly worn shocks, i am after a more comfortable ride BUT of course i would still like it not to bounce of course.
Which would you recommend?

5/4kg.mm would give a near standard ride. The ride will be slightly firmer but still superior quality to the original units. I know that sounds perverse but its true. We found on one of our cars that removing the original low milage dampers and Eibach springs significantly improved ride quality and its something often echoed by our customers.

We do a 4/3kg.mm kit for the GC8s. Its not something we really push for the GDB as its a heavier car and so doesnt need to drop to such low rates but we can always accomodate custom needs and can produce them with 4/3kg.mm if you really want an ultimately supple ride
