There's Eibachs as well but they are only adjustable for height. I bought Eibach's as i didnt want to mess about with many adjustments.
BC's seem to be the favourites and certainly offer superb value for a very good product, from what people are saying on here.
Top end of the market? Exe-TC and Ohlins if we could only afford em! lol

Teins with EDFC + fitting & aligment will be close to 1.8k!

My options have been narrowed to either the teins ss or bc br...
BC seem amazing value for money, but have heard a few possible issues... Although replacement parts are farily cheap and easy to get.

Teins are very good quality but are very firm.

London + Teins = Broken Teeth! ;-)

Tein's also have reliability issues.

I guess its the luck of the draw! Your always going to get a few that are not going to be built to the correct/expected standard!

Either way, i think BC BR seem the way forward!

I had D2 coilovers on MY03 STI and they were excellent and very well priced, bought them direct from Australia although they are now readily available in the UK.
