Hey, I've been posting alot lately and besides for trying to get my activity level up lol I've been trying to prepare myself for some CV3's or CV1's... I have had the eibach pro-kit for the X coupe for 3 and a half weeks now with probably 35 miles driven in all with it. I truly feel like i am lacking in terms of ride comfort and bouncing a little bit more than I would like. So i've contacted BC, the only company producing coilovers for the AWD coupe about pricing and the time it would take to ship. now i sit at my office desk just wondering should I leave behind the springs and take the step to BC coilovers? I would obvi sell the eibach springs and after one more payday i will pull the trigger on a set of them..... should i do this? are those of you with BC loving them? had springs before? .... i want the new wheels to look at home with the drop, like comfy lol

 

PM me the details of what you heard from them. i might be interested at the same time you pull the trigger.

also interested in others feedback

 

If your selling the springs pm me a price because i need some springs for my x!

 

Gotcha! first person i'll let know once he gets back at me

 

yeahh im def gunna sell em if I go BC for sure i'll PM you once BC gets back to me

 

OP did you also do a research about TANABE SUSTEC PRO S-OC ? i heard they are better than stock quality ride and i might put it on very soon. i don't know whether they are x compatible or not tho.

 

Tanabe are just height adjustment...

 

no application for AWD either... thank you tho

 

+1 to eibachs not being great, but i guess it's expected with just a spring kit. you really notice how bouncy and uncomfortable they are once you hit a dip or a big bump

 

Hecks yea you should!! Pull the trigger!!

 

DO IT! I didn't have springs, but I was debating btw eibachs PK and BC's, eventually I just saved up and got the BCs
Had them for a week, they were set to pretty stiff from factory, but i've tweaked them a little so i'm sitting at 14 F and 11 R (30 = most soft). Ride is really comfy and it's stable. The coolest thing is there is this turn on my way to work that has a bump (bad pothol patch job). Everytime before I took that turn i had to slow down cus hitting the bump would destabilize the car and send me a coupla feet off the angle. Now I just roll thru it and the suspension just takes it in. Sweet

You won't regreat the BCs. I dunno about durability tho...talk to me in 10k miles : )

 

Ya tanabe is just height no dampening, IMO stupid and just not worth it, look into ksport too they make a true coil design, not sure if they fit the x though

 

THANK YOU! THMotorsports just contacted me and said they have them in stock and after what you just said im gunna buy em for sure!

I had Ksports on my honda... LOVED THEM they were hands down the best thing i ever purchased for a car but they cant go on an x =(

 

I have BC coilovers on my '02 Honda Civic. Out of the other brands that I had on my EM2, this had the harshest ride even at soft settings. I actually hated driving on them to the point where if my transmission didn't die on me I would have bought KW's for that car during the winter. North Jersey roads are going to put those through punishment since they don't believe in repaving up there. I myself am waiting for JIC Magic to drop their coilovers for the X's.

 

I actually just went from Eibach to BC Coilovers this past weekend. I love I can go slammed when I want, and the ride is actually nicer than on Eibachs.
