Really tempted to order me a set of these. Or STs. Any long term reviews out there?

Yes, if I remember correctly this is what we did when my ///M and ZHP was lowered :thumbsupQuote:

gary, are these for the rear shocks?Quote:

i do not like the 1-year warranty, however - to me, it says something about the quality of the components. when you look at bilstein, they lifetime-warranty their dampers (to the original purchaser). THAT says something about confidence in their product.
hmmm.

I agree that with Bilstein's you have their lifetime warranty and that is one thing to consider when purchasing coilovers. I agree with your statement Peter :thumbsup

We stand so strongly behind the quality of the parts we sell, we're willing to guarantee fitment and guarantee the part, for it's Entire Life.
First, we make every effort possible to ensure you get the right part the first time. But if you happen to receive a part that doesn't fit, we pay shipping both ways until you're happy.
Second, if a part we have sold to you does not live up to your expectations for any reason at any time, you can send it back for a replacement or a full refund, yup, at any time. So if you think a part did not provide you the value you expected, send it back. Its that simple.
What happens if I need to return a part?
Don't worry, we'll help you out. Download our returns form and fill it out and don't hesitate to give us a ring if we can be of any assistance.
What happens if my part fails in 10 years?
If the part did not meet your expectations send it back and we will refund you or send you a replacement. You can also order a replacement and send your original part to us afterwards, we'll then credit you the cost of your new replacement.
thanks charlie. positive first-hand experience is always a good thing! i agree on the pricing.Quote:

i'm on the fence between this product and the bilstein 'B12' kit (bilstein sport dampers - which are shorter than stock - and eibach springs). the adjustability of the BC's appeals to my fiddly nature, but the 'set and forget' and lifetime warranty of the bilstein setup likely aligns with my wife's desires - less time spent fiddling with the car. :) haha.

wow, thanks gary. i wonder how well they stand behind that, in actual practice? not wanting to doubt, but sometimes when something is too good to be true... ;)Quote:

i also spotted this on their website:
"Just note that due to credit card requirements refunds after 90 days must be in the form of FCP store credits"
excellent. i was considering ordering my new windshield from them but they won't ship it... i'd have to pick it up.Quote:

I've had BC Racing coils on my ///M for about 4 years now.... for the money you can't beat using them. I have them on my ZHP as well...Quote:

I put them on my ZHP about 10k miles ago. I have the Swift Spring upgrade and have ZERO complaints.
What is the difference with the "Swift Spring" upgrade?
I was wondering the same, i had someone suggest that "upgrade" to me..........Quote:

When I ordered my set for my '03 ZHP from Ray (smilez) they came labeled for an e46 M3.
"E46 M and non M are the same kit. We send the M now because the spring rates work better with both M and non M versions. The only difference is the 12k rear spring as opposed to the 10k rear spring on the I-02 non-M kit.

Taylor"
This was the message Ray received after asking if it was the correct set for my car.
