I was a sceptic but I found BC BR coilovers really good and far better than I expected them to be (having had a set of the first Apex coilovers which were not too good), speak to Ryan (prodriverules) and ask him for his opinion of the BC's as he fitted mine and got the geometry sorted out for me as well.
The BC's are a very good option in terms of price and their use in the Subaru community shows how well thought of they are.

Just had the Bilstein handling kit fitted to mine and it handles so much better over the standard springs/STi pink springs I had before.It not a problem for me that they aren't adjustable because I wouldn't have adjusted them anyway.I also had fitted uprated front and rear anti roll bars and anti lift Kit.
The only down side is that it isn't cheap at £1800 and the ride is harder but not uncomfortable

+1 for bcs, i had teins in the past and they were stupidly hard. the bc's give a great ride and handling.

Not yet it should have been ready Ian has told me he is still waiting for the Bilsteins to turn up.His supplier is in the process of moving to a different warehouse so fingers crossed for next week.
I already have Perrin front and rear arb,Cdf alloy droplinks so hopefully these will be the icing on the cake.
As soon as i get the car back i will post up my thoughts.

Picked my car up yesterday but I have to take it back next week for a geo check.first impression is I can feel the road imperfections a lot more the plus side is it corners like a gokart.once the geo has been checked I will give it a proper go and report back.

I have the B16's on my car with all the additional trimmings such as arb's drop links, bushes etc and modified bottom arms. Compared to the std Hawkeye suspension the car is very much improved. You will feel a lot more from the road but thats one of the reasons for doing these upgrades, for me I prefer the ride quality, the std Hawk suspension was to unpredictable. Tyre pressure adjustments can help, I use 17" tyres I would not go to 18's as the low walls make the ride even harder and for track use you need the walls to move around a bit to get good weight transfer.
Give it some time Dave I am sure you will come to like it.
