I know this thread is dead, but figured I'll leave some input for future information.
Installed BC Racing BR coilovers this past weekend. I ordered the custom coilovers with 12 kg/mm front and rear springs rates with Swift Springs.
There was some mix up and BR sent me the coilovers with their own springs. The Swift springs are on the way.
The build quality seems good. I really like that shock adjustment is easy on both the front and rear.
Rear shock:
Front top mount for camber adjustment:
Note for front camber adjustment: Since the shock tower hole is small on the 2, not much adjustment can be made. After you install coilover, turn your steering wheel left and right to make sure the nut below the adjustment knob is not hitting the sheet metal. The hole can be made bigger to get access to the allen bolts, but I'm not sure if that's allowed per SCCA street touring rules.
With the BR racing springs, the ride is unbearable for daily driving (coming from stock). 12 kg/mm front and rear has me jumping all around in my car. I still need to play around with the shocks, but doubt it'll make much of a difference.
Taking corners are a joy though. Car stays nice and flat.
I am hoping the Swift springs will improve the ride a little. If not, I may have to look into lowering the spring rates in the rear.
Autocross is in two weeks so I'll update after the event. I'll also update if I can tell a difference between the BR and Swift springs.
