BC racing coilovers thoughts?

I picked up a pair of bc racing coilovers. Any thoughts? Should I get wheel spacers? How do they ride. Any feedback is great. Thank you. Main concern is wheel spacers

They will be firm once you get them set up, I'd wait until you get just the drop you want then decide just how much spacing you want.

I'd shoot for zero fender gap, this will be about 26.25" to the upper fender arcs. I've been lower than that and it's not much fun IMO.

Pray that you don't end up with their infamous clunking noise in the rear. BC coils are ridiculously known for it.

Usually comes from the rear, so what im assuming its because of the rear spring bucket vs a true coilover setup. the spring bucket i dont think you can set the proper preload depending on your ride height.

With the newer releases of these coilovers that problem has pretty much stopped.
We just installed a set a month ago and our normal procedure here is to follow up with all customers 30 day after install to make sure everything is going great. NO problem reports thus far.

Pull them up on a lift and tighten all lower bolts of the coils with the cars weight on them after install.and no noises will be heard.
