Pete, thanks for clarifying. I don't think i ever thanked you in person for all the help you've been when i got my CO's a while back - so thank you. I also figured out to extend those rear adjusters (i have a sedan, the extenders exit into the cabin, unlike the coupes which extend to the trunk). Still can't get the rears back to OEM height on the "older" revision of these struts, but it's working out just fine for now

If there are any customers needing this fix please send them our way.
ya everything seems to be working out great with the new setup. im almost inclined to take a road trip down there so you can go over my car and do some quick testing. ive been playing with the dampening to see what gives me the plush ride without the bounce, so far im at 9 in the front and still at the 14 in the rear. i just wish i could have gotten those extenders on those new rears you sent me so i can adjust the rears, im thinkin 10 might be a little nicer for the rear. but im also breaking in the new rear shock as well so ill let it settle up a little bit before i go in and change it. but all the squeeks are gone so far and its a pretty quite system. i must admit i owe you an apology for freaking out while you were away at sema. thanks again for all your help.

Hey Pete, I just ordered these coils but have a question before I install them. Are these designed to withstand salt and whatever else they put on the roads during the winter, as in NYC? I've heard about some people spraying their coils with something (don't know exactly what) to prevent rust or thread damage? Would these require that? I am debating on whether I should put the coils on for that reason or hold off till the spring. Thanks in advance.

Pete, i've had my BC's for 6 months (pre update) so my rear sits a little lower, but i like the look. Anyway I am pleased with the coils and wanted to know if you've head any estimates on the longevity of this setup. Obviously there are many variables coming into play here, however, do you think they can last 50k miles with 75% highway driving?

I would think so. I can tell you I have the first set of BC's on a G37 and they have been on for over 2 years now and driven much harder than highway miles and no problems yet.

I have the same problem with my BCs...

I called, email, and PMed BC...still haven't got a response. I guess they're still trying to catch up after SEMA.

still having an issue with the bouncy feeling, it seems i either have to decide if i wanna feel every bump in the road and hear it to, or if i want a somewhat comfy ride but with a bouncy rebound. not quite sure where im going wrong with this setup yet. will play some more.... might consider changing out to kw's if i cant get it worked out.

I'm going with KW's mostly because of this thread, but also because so many others recommend them. Thanks for posting all your progress and issues with us.
