Again from personal experience, 1300$ is probably too much for the BC's.
I spent under 600$ to get mine shipped to my house and even then the head ache a year (30,000km) later when the shocks blew out, coupled with seizing adjustment knobs was definately not worth it when I reflect back now.
Personally i'd sell them and spend the extra couple of hundred to get a reliable set.
If it is for the purposes for track, i also withdraw my statement of suggesting the BC as a decent entry level as back then I had no idea the difference that a reliable tuned set up could make.

The revised BC Racing Gold BR Sets are the new and much much better quality.. There was alot of shit about the old black ( V1) series.. But the gold ones, have only seen good reviews..
There are reviews on ek9.org. , and jdmst in relation to hondas.
I've had mine on for about a year now and i love them. i drove them on full hard for about 6 months but got over the bumpy ride. got them in about the middle and there perfect.
Doesn't take much effort to turn a corner fast anymore.
The good thing is the car holds its speed around the corners.
I was going ridicolously fast around this corner and car wanted to go faster around the corner with the coilovers but it was my brain telling me its shitting itself and to slow down.
So if you want decent coilovers that will make you back out before they do then go the BC's.
I installed a set of BC Coilovers BR series to my type S
It has been 3 months since i had it
and here is my thoughts
once installed i had it on soft. maybe 10 clicks from soft.
the ride was bouncy but not harsh as expected. felt like stock to be honest.
after a few weeks i put it to 15 from soft. and it was much more noticeable felt every bump and pothole. but i actually liked having the harsh ride since it was my weekend car and i use to frequent to natio park.
few weeks ago i set it back to 12 and to be honest its perfect ride. the coils are most likely settled in so having it softer is actually still firm and not too bad
there is less body roll and it handles like its on rails now. can push the car into corners at much more speed.
i rate this 8/10
a must for any car enthusiast who doesnt want to spend too much on coils.
i ve tried koni shocks + aftermarket springs, apex'i coilover, tein coilover, hks coilover, eibach spring, bc old model and the current gold one.
i would say the best one would either be the apex'i or the bc gold series in the aspect of handling and comfort ride. a lot of the japanese brands coilovers are also made in taiwan anyway......
