Could you tell us the good and bad things between all of them

HKS - Too soft for my liking. Didnt go low enough because the design of those coilovers are different.
So they dont go as low as coilovers made now days. Those were street coilovers designed for a mild drop and spring rates were 4:4

NeoMax - They were actually really good coilovers. But once again. They dont go as low as I would like.
I asked OTR for coilovers designed to go really low and the recommended me these NeoMax.
I asked if they go as low as BC because I originally asked for BC and they said Yes. Got them installed and it didnt go low.
I told them I wanted a refund or get store credit and get BC Coilovers and they said No. Made me spend $1,300 on coilovers
THEY recommended and they screwed me over.

BC BR - Honestly. I love these coilovers. Nothing wrong with them. They do get a bit noisy from time to time but having the radio on.
You wont hear a thing. Best coilovers I got out of the three. Wish I got them first and save all that time and headache.
But, Got to learn somehow. Which is why I do my best to help everyone here and get their build right the first time.

Do you have a picture with them maxed out? Been looking for pictures of how low they can go but havent found anything. How much did otr charge to install? I dont have any tools, i asked a friend if he can help but he is getting married soon and he might be busy these next couple of weeks and i want to install them asap

Would it still be alot lower than my current springs?

I think they charge roughly $200 or $220 without wheel alignment. Which is average price.
I got mine done for $150 at a friends garage. He normally charges $180.
But I doubt you will drive down here to save $20 lol

The front will definitely go lower. Keep in mind that our CV Boot is very close to our suspension. Mine popped and spat grease everywhere.

Rears, If i remember right it will go down to 1 finger gap on 17" wheels. There are ways to make it go down alot lower but you may sacrifice comfort and being able to have passengers in the back lol

Most of everything I did with my car, I did it twice and consumed huge amount of time. Spray my spoiler last night, fking clear coat went hazy. I got mad and scrubbed it too hard with 1200g sand paper, fking base coat layer peeled off. Ended up getting body filler and fill up the space. And i had to spray base over clear because I had no choice. Now it looks dodgy as fk. I hope my rim paint job will be better this weekend. Sigh. DIY is tough for every first timer yo LOL!

Just bought my Type R Front. Will be selling my Mugen RR Front soon. More info and pics will be up in a few days.

If you're going to DIY coils in the FD, be careful when taking off the wipers for the fronts. Friend stuck a screwdriver in to remove it because he was having trouble and cracked his windshield lol. All you need to do it pull them off

Careful of ripping off the CV boot as well. Friend did that, spent 8 hours putting it back on lol. Should be straight forward if you know what youre doing though
