Agreed. These will certainly be on the higher end for performance and track use.

That's huge. People in the wheel and tire section are trying to get a 2 second increase with different wheels and tires - which can cost every bit as much as coil overs.

If I'm going to go through the time and expense of doing this - it's better to do it right, the first time.

something I've seen over and over again is people focus on looks before performance. Talking about "stance" and "tire gap" and a bunch of bullshit. Maybe those are the people who buy low end suspension products and end up happy with them? I'm not sure.

If you'll notice, I said BC Custom, not the standard BC BR that you're most likely referring to. The BC Custom can run Swift springs and custom valving matched to the springs at whatever rates you're looking for.
This is a huge improvement over the OTS BC's that most folks order, and at about $400 more in price. So worth it to me.

But this also goes towards intended use as was brought up earlier.
For me, the Camaro is a DD with maybe 1-2 HPDE's and an occasional friendly run at the drag strip along with spirited canyon driving.

I already have a track car that is set up specifically for that one purpose, and sucks as a DD.

Over the past few years I've setup and installed 8-10 different suspension setups on various cars. I'm not a novice by any stretch. Do your research and go with what's right for you.

Oh, and my initial review of the BC Custom Extreme Drop on my wife's car. 2015 Beetle Vert. Lowered 3". 10k/9k Swift.
Ride quality is like stock but with substantially reduced body roll. Perfect for a DD with occasional bouts through the canyon. But that's the benefit of custom valving. We ordered EXACTLY what we wanted.

Looks like 20mm front and 15mm rear based on the chart. But that doesn't seem like much.

That is what I was thinking when I read it, it sounded low to me, hence my confusion. Must be a case of lost in translation. I would think a coilover set up would give you at least 30mm -40mm if not more.

I agree. But is seems pretty clear based on the information provided.

Thanks for the feedback.

It looks like we'll soon have several more options available to us.

I really want adjustable compression and rebound. better to have it and not need it than the opposite.

bump! anybody order some yet and get them on your car?
