Nice! How is the ride? I have the BC coil-overs, yet to be installed, but want to know my options in case the ride is too soft. I do have to replace at least one rear factory strut, as it is leaking, but plan to do that when I pull the struts off, keeping them safe for later, just in case.
It was very harsh at first, but I have slowly been lowering tire pressure which helps a lot. I just lowered the pressure another pound to 32 but have not driven the car yet.

Does BC offer different rate springs?
I think they offer three different sets of coil-overs/struts that come with different-rate springs. But I don't know the rate of each. While I can't get the rate of the coil-over springs, I'll measure them, so I can buy different pairs if it's necessary. We'll see.
