Default Type R Coilover choice?!

Hey guys,

Thinking of getting some coilovers for my Project R, it's got OEM struts but lowering springs (unknown make) but it's pretty solid! Now I had Varient 1 KWs on my old Blob and they were perfect!! They're on the expensive side at nigh on £1k! I've seen BCs and Raceland ones about which are pretty reasonable, what's your opinions on these? I just want some height adjustable ones, not interested in damping etc!

Cheers

Merv

Im running bc coilovers on mine have don several track days and a trip round the ring and would recomend them to anyone, They are equally as good as the tein i have on my V4 STI, just not as expensive to buy.

The KWs I had were only slightly firmer that OEM on my 2005 STi I might have to change to them after it's all running and I've got some spare cash
