I hear they're not bad. What cambers? You mean adjustable camber setups?

BC new go for around the $1200-1300 mark from what I have seen.

BC Coilovers are great for daily driving an spirited driving, And it be alot of fun on the track with decent tyres, Plus you can play with the damper settings to find what works best with your setup.

There is also alot of reviews an info about bc coils.

In my honest opinion leave the car as it is from an engine perspective. If you want more power buy a different EK (EK4 for example) and move your coilovers to that one.

BC coilovers are great.

There is no camber adjustment through the coilovers in an EK though, it is all done via the upper control arms. Aftermarket units are required.
