The BCs will fit the 2010s. Yessir!

OP, if you're still around... what's the offset on your wheels?

I've got some Nismo A34s (19x8.5/35), and I've been going back and forth re: BC coilovers or Swift springs (when they become available). I really don't want to have to get spacers.

Morrisey, I thought of you when I read this thread. ...I'm thinking that coilovers would be OK on the X because you can adjust them individually. AKA make the car even by adjustment whereas you have to worry about springs being uneven or model specific.

thx for looking out.

I had CO on my Audi. I prefer them b/c I don't like slamming cars. So I would have it a bit higher than the OP. His rear looks pretty low and especially when compared with the front.

OP sorry for 'gettin' in on your thread.

I have a 2010 xS sedan myself. These will work just fine. Give BC a call. That's the best way to assure yourself.

What wheels are those in the vid? They look great on the sedan.

Aren't people who have the BCs having issues? I thought I saw a thread somewhere.

I think those are the 370z Rays wheels.

There were issues early on, but they've got pretty much everything worked out.

I never understood why AWD versions of cars (in general) sit higher than the non-AWD version of the same car. It's not like people are going offroad in them or anything, so why the extra ground clearance (and resulting fender well gap)??? Looks terrible to me.

BMW is also guilty of this on their AWD cars. Somehow Audi manages to build AWD vehicles that don't have a lifted 4x4 look to them. If Audi can do it, so can everyone else.

I agree 100%.

Audi for one, most of their cars sit WAY TOO HIGH. I owned one. I had to do coilovers. Volvo. et al.

The enemy. BMW. Their rwd cars sit SOOOO nicely. The ultimate driving machine. Well no wonder. They have a proper suspension set up. Their awd, yes they sit a bit taller, but they don't sit as tall as a G37X which looks like a Grand Cherokee.

Agreed 1000% Sat next to a new M3 yesterday and wondered why I was like 3 ft taller,, LOL They look so nice factory dropped like that. Even the 335 sits nice.. The X stands for off roading for us... AHHAHA

I love the stance of most Audi cars. Take the A5 (Sport package only) or S5 for example...to me, it is perfect. Not too high and not too low.

BMW is hit or miss. Some of their models look fine, but others look a bit too low if they are RWD with the Sport or ///M packages. And their AWD models all look too high for my taste.

I like the way my G37 sits in the rear, but the front should be a bit lower. My old M3 has the same problem where the back end was nice and tight and there was more gap in the front end.

I guess it all comes down to personal preferences. I don't like too high or too low. Too high just looks completely lame to me and too low not only makes for a horrible ride, but just give the car a "down in the weeds" look that I don't like.

Here's a stock A5 with the 19" S-line Sport package. To me, the car sits perfectly.
