WoW....glad I spent the past hour reading. I was going to look into becoming a dealer, but I refuse to deal with any manufacturer that provides horrible customer service skills regardless of how great of a product. Makes the dealer look bad in the long run and they are just stuck in the middle.

For the x guys, we will be testing some BC coils with custom swift spring rates and rubber top mounts. A review will be posted after wards.

The order is in, just waiting for them to ship. It will be a couple of weeks as BC has been closed over the holidays.

That would be great! Im sure us X guys are willing to shell some coin as long as quality follows. I didnt go BC from the start due to various complaints. If BC can make something thats comparable to KW or Bilstein, Im ALL there!

Update 01/04/14:
Today I installed, along with a buddy of mine, some rubber bushings between the rear spring and the height adjuster, and another on top of the rear shock body. I was hoping this would fix the clunking noise seemingly coming for the back, but it didn't. I feel like I might have been tackling this problem wrong. I plan on checking all other possible culprits (sways, diff, etc.) in the coming days. Hopefully, something good turns up.

I had a clunking sound from a cracked end link, I dunno if you checked those but it might help.

I will be waiting to see that review! Have been hesitant to go with BC due to the mixed reviews. Will they be true coilovers in the rear or OEM style?

BTW, love the B13 photo avatar (former 1991 SE-R owner here)

OEM Style, they don't offer a true coilover setup for the G/Z at this time.

Thanks... she sleeps in the garage quite a bit now in her old age!!

Nice, can't wait to hear your impressions of the ride quality, handling, and if there are any noises etc.

BTW, not sure I have seen those Z wheels on a V36 sedan before, looks good!
