yes they can - 30 diffrent settings front and rear. They are also height adjustable. I have mine on the medium setting and they are comfortable for daily use

hi. just fitted a set of BCRM series on my 95RA. the build quality and adjustability is fantastic. you won't go far wrong. i've set the front end 5 degrees of caster, 1 and a half degrees of camber and did a personal best over the weekend at loton park. hope this helps, gareth.

I have them on my late 03sti, same as your 04 I think. The BC's are great for comfort and handling.

hi mate. i think the BR range is more than adequate for road use (and occasional track use) with the added benefit of being able to adjust the damp and rebound from the top without getting underneath the car. as far as setting up goes, straight out of the box with minor adjustments and a wheel alignment, the suspension will work really well. but there are lots of other ways in which you can improve your cars handling.

Hi , i do hill climbing and sprinting, when i started many people told me that to have the chassis set up properly is worth 40 hp which is backed up by the 2 car challenge on white lines web site , Whiteline Automotive - performance handling and suspension products. car spring coil shock damper swaybar sway bar anti-sway bush bushes australia australian whiteline automotive performance road holding turn-in camber caster toe in vehicle hot 4 v8 . I think its worth every penny .

put bc coilovers on my 54 STI last week ( tuesday )
realy firm on road, but no body roll at all.
cost me £599, but make sure you get the right one's,because the pcd on mine is 114.
ordered a set of front struts pulled car to bits only to fined they didn't fit.
