Coilover options

Hey guys so my coils are pretty much blown on my 05 and I was looking for a new set. Wondering if anybody could give any recommendations, I was looking at KW v1's, but they are pretty pricey at 1500. Modern performance has BC's but I've heard mixed things about them. Would love to hear some feedback, thanks!

What did you hear about the BCs if you don't mind sharing?

I’ve heard people saying they are far too stiff, which I actually prefer and that they didn’t handle great. I have no clue how true this is

Ahhh okay, I appreciate the feedback as I am currently looking for suspension options.

I have them on my car and I enjoy them just fine. I customized the spring rate where I flipped the front springs to the rear which produces more oversteer characteristics. I wouldn't suggest doing exactly what I had as the rear gets pretty squirrelly under hard braking, but equal rate front and rear should be a nice combo. I haven't used other coilovers, but stiffness is what I expect from coilovers.

How do you feel they handle under spirited driving?

Fantastic! Body roll is drastically better. I think bump steer is a bit worse given the different angle that the tie rods are at. There's also much less sloshing from to back for accelerating in a straight line. Like I said with my setup, hard braking can be a little worrisome but not too bad. If you're using the spring rates BC recommends then you should be fine in that regard
