BC Br coilovers opinion

Hey guys I'm currently looking to buy the bc Br coilovers for my 86 but I'm not sure if I should get the standard one or extreme drop.

I'll be using my 86 daily ,I like the slammed/low look , I plan to track the car maybe once or twice a month and have a nice comfort ride as it's going to be my daily car

Just need some of your opinions on what bc Br coil to go for and what spring rate or maybe I should get some other coils ?
Thanks

There are a lot of guys including me that are having problems with these coilovers. If you go to the 4th and 5th pages of this topic you can read the threads about it. I'm going to a place today to see if they can figure out where my mystery noise is coming from.

would you like fries with that?

they say pick 2 out of 3 but in your case i'd pick 1 otherwise you're just asking for too much out a low end system.

if you want comfort look at another option. I had BR's on my ralliart sportback, they were terrible. The only other coilovers i have used were KW V3's on my Evo and they were easily worth the price difference in ride quality.

BC's damping is terrible and not at all matched to the spring rates imo.
