I read the BC Coilover unboxing thread. It's been a little while, so I'm wondering if everyone is still enjoying the ride? I read Babaluwee was complaining about the squat in the rear during high speeds. I currently have Eibach, and the rears do sit a bit lower than the fronts. My left side is rubbing when turning or hit a dip. I currently have BC coilovers on my other car, and I love it. My other concern is access to rear dampening adjustment. Has anyone looked into the adjustment extenders and see if they will reach into the trunk?

Have them on my other car, and it makes adjusting the rear sooooo simple.
 
I still like mine, but they do have more of a rubbery squeak now. Also when I brake hard going down hill I get a rattle/vibration, which I believe is coming from the coilovers. I might need to get back down there and check if everything is tightened up. Not sure about those adjustment extenders since our rear adjusters are on the side and not top. I have also raised my rears up a bit since.
 
Will the BC's also settle after some time as well like the H&Rs and Eibachs? Not sure if they will settle another half an inch or so or are they ready to go with the height you want straight from the factory? I'm about to order them in less than two weeks.
 
rubbery squeak is probably from the pillow balls, there much less slop than the factory rubber isolator strut mounts, but they do make noise from time to time...
 
mines are great as for vibration none, I suggest checking the ones in the back to make sure that the hardware that you took for the stock strut is still tight, no noise to complain about and I have raised mines up a bit.
 
My BC's have been great, I have had a few rare noises (maybe the CO's) but nothing permanent and nothing overly irritating. I had the rears raised 3/8" yesterday, set up is now ever so slightly raked. Love the ride, love the [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]Adjustability[/FONT].
 
I am pretty sure we are all fairly low, really depends on the circumference of the tire wheel combination and the drop. I am running 295/40/20's and the wheel wells in the front are 1/2 finger, the rears are about one finger. My fronts are still close to spec, the rears are out of spec and over time I am sure the rear tires will wear unevenly. If you were to run stock circumference and drop tight to that you should be able to stay within or close to stock camber specs.
 
Can't say enough good things about my BCs.

Installed and drove for three weeks, then lowered it to current height. No sounds or noises - performance is still better than previous Eibachs or stock setups. No complaints.
