Several other people have directly answered your question about BC Racing coilovers, but my main reason for suggesting that you avoid them came from negative reviews and comments here on the forum. I don't have direct experience with them and that should be taken into consideration, and I learned something from Alex (@mav1178) when he said that BC Racing makes coilovers under contract for a number of other coilover companies. That said, he didn't sound impressed with their shock dyno curves under heavy use.

As for alternatives based on your needs and usage, the big question I would have for you is do you specifically need the adjustability that coilovers provide? If not (and, to me, it sounds like you don't), I would suggest looking at a set of RaceComp Engineering 'Yellow' coils and bumpstops, a set of Bilstein B8 struts and dampers, and OEM Subaru 'crash bolts' to increase front camber. It's a highly regarded mono-tube set up that provides a nice drop, reasonable spring rates for daily use, very good damping, ride, and wheel control, with OEM fitment and none of the hassles of coilovers. Good luck!
