go to BC's website and see what they come with, read some reviews on what people thing and go from there. thats what i did lol.

My random guess: 12k front 18k rear or 16/20 if you like it...... H A R D

On this page the extreme low coilovers have 7k front 6k rear? Seems a little soft and the fronts are stiffer than the rear. I'm really confused now

Yeah normally the fronts are stiffer than rears cause weight and stuff. For your car id probably go with what my rates are, 14k fronts 8k rears

Disregard any talk about DIY coilovers in this thread. CA Tuned coilovers are being ordered soon if all goes well

Spring rates? And how much are you looking to get?

Spring rates? And how much are you looking to get?

750lbs front 850lbs rear. Only problem is fronts are only 6" springs so max height up front is really low. With the ebaich springs I'd like $500 or $350 with original nex springs, I'm not sure what the spring rate was. and I'd need your front factory strut housings.

Right height with eibach springs

No problem.

Okay so i just did a little research on CATuned coilovers and i'm getting very very mixed reviews. I've seen people really happy with them and others claim that they are low quality, re-branded coilovers. This leads me into thinking BC racing coils are a better option because they come with the sway bar brackets already installed unlike catuned coilovers and they are also supposedly cheaper. If the extra money was there i would go broadway static no questions asked but sadly they are out of my price range. Anyone else have any input?

A lot of my good friends have BC coils in their cars, they offer great adjustability and pretty good ride. Definitely go with the super lows though, im sure a few guys on here run them on their E28s

how much is that front lip you bought actually worth? There's one local to me with fog lights in it for $200

Yeah that price sounds about right for one of these. Sometimes they get up toward the $300 range depending on condition with fogs.
