Talking Bc racing coilovers

So guys been on here searching for a while now and been through 50 pages and still not 100% sure, I'm looking at bc br coilovers for my e90 and want to know what people think after having them on for a long period of time, iv seen good and bad reviews and just want to know more before I buy them, iv heard people say they clonk and make noises but that has come down to the drop links, would really like some people with experience on these to chime in, I know there has been loads of treads about this and I do apologise but there are not recent reviews, thanks again and I hope your all having a good day 👌🏻

I had BC Racing coilovers on my old Chrysler 300c. I found the quality to be good and had no issue with them

Also, you are running on tall 17" tires I assume. On 18" or even worse 19" won't be that comfortable any more.

yeah if you dont track your car a normal alignment shop can handle that I personally get a proper race alignment and corner balance on mine to get everything tightened up. A proper alignment will do wonders even on a stock setup. but you should be fine and the bcs are good quality

Had mine for 5k and really like them. Remember this will make your ride on the stiffer side. Also most of the complains is from ppl either installing them wrong or not setting the preload correctly, this will make the ride like shit and immediately after done you should have it align. But yeah I luv them
