FR-S Coilovers Review

Hey so I finally got around to installing the set of BC Racing coilovers onto my FRS. It was difficult to judge what height I should set in the first place, but it was all worth it when I was able to adjust the exact height that was the most comfortable for me, and what was needed to make driving most enjoyable. The difference between BC Racing suspension and others is that its quality is exceptionally great, but still able to be fine-tuned based on how I liked it. I have yet to bring it to the tracks but will keep this thread posted once I got the chance to do so.

Got them to take some pictures for me while they were at it.

Kind of off topic, but what camera did you use? Pics look great!

What do you base this statement upon? Just what are you comparing these to?
