BC coilovers are quite good alot of people in the UK are using them. good value for money, However BC used to make the D2 coilovers and now D2s have stopped. I know D2 coilovers did have alot of problems but until now i have never seen any BC coilovers getting messed up.

you can get them for about $950-$1050
im buying a set through a dealer. i have read nothing but good reviews for all cars and the ride quality can be adjusted to stock comfort so the ride quality is so harsh like other coilovers. and they also offer up to a 3" drop

i did alot of research and from what i read this company makes and design all high end suspesnion systems for other high end companies. systems that are upward to $3gs and up and every review i have read is that they are simply fantastic. better tein tein ss-p and better then cusco or c-one

we met with them at sema and talked for awhile they saw some of the cars we built and next thing you know we are a vendor for BC and also picked up an account with STD they make some really nice parts too. I should have the price sheet and catalog mon. or tues. I'm not a vendor on the site yet so if you want pricing pm me.

These are great entry level coilovers. Much much better quality/ride/handling than d2 I used to have. And these are better and cheaper option than tein basic/ss/ssp. Obviously, they aren't up to spec with high end coilovers like kw, zeals, etc. But for the price, you can't go wrong.
The damper setting actually work properly, comfortable enough on soft and back breaking on hard.
The spring rate is what it should be 6kg front 8kg rear.
Complete unit, no need to remove top mount from stock suspension.
Mounts for brake line already built into coilover.
Height adjustable from bottom sleave, doesn't screw up preload setting.

I'm using from May BC.
Was not properly made brake line to shock claim. Not correct stabilizer links were included (seller changed after 2w).
But as price/result is good. I'm using celi on weekend races only: autox, track, time attack :)
BC is the same manufactory in Taiwan for D2, Apex and other "brand" names.

you will have to contact them directly it doesnt look like anyone sells them online for our cars yet. i did see them on ebay but you can get the cheaper elsewhere. or just email performance shops and im sure they can get you a price. i know thats what i did, im just still waiting til mid january to pay for them after i pay for all my bills lol

www.neverenoughauto.com is an online dealer... he's a big seller on the matrix forums
i dont think he's got BC's listed on his site but he is a dealer, i've spoken to him about it already and got a quote - just waiting for some other parts and ordering mine then
