B C Racing coilovers...any thoughts?

Looking at a set of BC Racing coilovers for my 996tt. Anyone have these installed, any input or comments? They are considerably cheaper than other makes available. Does more money mean better quality or performance in this case? Interested in any input.

I think it depends what you want to do with them, For a street coilover I think they're fine. I bought mine lightly used just as a stopgap till I got something else, But they ended up working well enough that it hasn't been a priority so I'm still running them.

CV10T is on a distinguished road
I am on the same boat as z06801. Of course there are better ones out there for more money but BC has been perfect for me. Street daily driving is great. Dampening is super easy to adjust. I have done two track days and they treated me very well. I have no need to spend more on other brands.

Ended up buying a set of PSS10 Bilsteins for $1600.00 off retail. Will be installing these come fall when car goes into storage for the ugly months.

They are new in original boxes. Total cost was $3200.00 including Paypal fees & shipping from Ontario to BC. Whole lot more than the BC set I was looking at but I couldn't pass up a deal.
