They are replaced for free BUT its a bit of a hassle.

What about TEIN basics? Or even like Tanabe coilovers? Get something at least made in Japan or America not Taiwan

One big thing to keep an eye on besides where they are made is spring rates. For street driving I wouldn't go higher then a 10kg front 8kg rear. 9kg/9kg is a good set up as well. Any higher and you will hate your car for street driving.

Yea I was actually looking at the tein's. I was looking around and seen that some guys have had some issues with the BC's making odd noises and giving them trouble. My budget isn't really set on a 1k, but bieng that I probably won't be tracking I didn't really feel the need to buy some of the higher end models. I might have to just bite down tho and buy a little better quality coilover
