Farewell to eibach? Hello to BC?
Hey, I've been posting alot lately and besides for trying to get my activity level up lol I've been trying to prepare myself for some CV3's or CV1's... I have had the eibach pro-kit for the X coupe for 3 and a half weeks now with probably 35 miles driven in all with it. I truly feel like i am lacking in terms of ride comfort and bouncing a little bit more than I would like. So i've contacted BC, the only company producing coilovers for the AWD coupe about pricing and the time it would take to ship. now i sit at my office desk just wondering should I leave behind the springs and take the step to BC coilovers? I would obvi sell the eibach springs and after one more payday i will pull the trigger on a set of them..... should i do this? are those of you with BC loving them? had springs before? .... i want the new wheels to look at home with the drop, like comfy lol

OP did you also do a research about TANABE SUSTEC PRO S-OC ? i heard they are better than stock quality ride and i might put it on very soon. i don't know whether they are x compatible or not tho.

DO IT! I didn't have springs, but I was debating btw eibachs PK and BC's, eventually I just saved up and got the BCs
Had them for a week, they were set to pretty stiff from factory, but i've tweaked them a little so i'm sitting at 14 F and 11 R (30 = most soft). Ride is really comfy and it's stable. The coolest thing is there is this turn on my way to work that has a bump (bad pothol patch job). Everytime before I took that turn i had to slow down cus hitting the bump would destabilize the car and send me a coupla feet off the angle. Now I just roll thru it and the suspension just takes it in. Sweet
You won't regreat the BCs. I dunno about durability tho...talk to me in 10k miles : )

I have BC coilovers on my '02 Honda Civic. Out of the other brands that I had on my EM2, this had the harshest ride even at soft settings. I actually hated driving on them to the point where if my transmission didn't die on me I would have bought KW's for that car during the winter. North Jersey roads are going to put those through punishment since they don't believe in repaving up there. I myself am waiting for JIC Magic to drop their coilovers for the X's.
