BC Sports Coilovers

Has anyone ever had experience with these BC Sports Coilovers (not Buddy Club)? I was recommended by a friend when I asked him about Tein SS coilovers. He can get them for me at $1,550 and $40 to install per corner (so it'd probably be $1,710ish all up).
Or even if someone's seen a review on these, could you please link me. It'd be greatly appreciated.

If only Buddy Club had something for our CU2's ):

Cheers guys!

Go to throwdown performance his prices are way better and his customer service is next to none. Great guy and for the bc coils he is much cheaper. But from what I've heard they are great coils!

I'll assume you're getting the 08+ Accord set?

I'll check out Throwndown performance when I get home from uni today then =o Because I gotta keep in mind the shipping price etc etc as I live in Australia. And my model is the MY11 Accord Euro so... will whatever Throwndown has fit my car?

teins DO NOT go really low. maybe for people running 17inch wheels but if you are running 19s and 20s doing 2.2 drop is not low. if you go any lower then 2.2 inches they are going to bottom out and you would have blown shocks fast.

teins are great for people that wants modest drops but for those that want an aggressive drop.. look elsewhere.

I was told that BC Sports go lower than Tein. Tein's are more for comfort that's why this guy recommended that I went with BC Sports. My stock wheels are 18" and I was just planning to lower the car just for now as I can't afford/can't decide on what rims to get yet. Though when I'm getting rims, they'd most likely be 19" anyways.

P.S. checking out Throwndown performance site nowww

EDIT: Is it these coilovers? http://throwdownperformance.com/inde...oducts_id=3217

Because the dude said BC "Sports" And this is BC "Racing" ... is that the same stuff? Lol.

Cheers man, I emailed them earlier today. See what they say about shipping and stuff.

Does anyone know how to check if we have to pay taxes/customs? I've never bought anything from overseas that requires paying tax/customs :S

The BC's or Megan's definitely go lower than the Tein's. Tein's are nice coils but we've had several customers with them switch to BC's because they did not like the lack of full height adjustment.

They are not specifically designed for us.. They are for 08 accords. But fits our fine. Just the spring rates might be off
