They're known to clunk even right from the factory sometimes

Thanks, I've heard great and bad things about these and I just can't decide. I've never had coils before so I wanna make sure I do as much research as possible before purchasing.

For the price, ST and B14 have a better track record than BC does. I've heard only great things about both of those.

Not everyone has these issues. My BC coilovers never made a clunk, but I knew how to properly set up the pre-load, ride height, and adjustable sway bar endlinks. A clunk from the front is most likely the sway bar contacting the lower control arm. That is the reason they come with adjustable end links so that you can place the sway bar in the correct location with a lowered ride height. I went with BCs because a South Eastern FR-S was breaking NASA TTD track records using them, so they were good enough for me.

Thanks, what's the max lowering inches the regular BC's go to?

Thing is, this will be my first time installing coilovers so I'm not familiar with all that stuff... If I run into any problems I hope someone can help me out lol

I know. Imagine how much quicker I could have taken that I-10 to I-110 on ramp if I had went with ST or FA coilovers instead.
