I dislike the EDC and it started giving me codes so it was a reason to code it out and get adjustable coils! People assume its crap because of the price point but honestly BC Racing down in Florida have been nothing but great to me when I ordered these. It's rare to find good customer service like that which is one of the reasons why I bought a set of them. If you're strictly a street car I'd order these without a doubt. It can handle light track duty easily too from what I heard. No personal experience though.
The front camber plates give you up to -4 degrees camber depending on height. I only ran up to like -3.5 up front when I had the meaty r888r tires. I'm at 2.5 now with PS4s.
My only concern was when you place the shock into the LCA it doesn't have that pin like all other coilovers do. For this reason, my car would bind at full lock because I didn't center the shock on initial install. I did order the DR series when it first came out so perhaps it was a quality control issue? I contacted BC about it and they assured me they do add the pin to the newer DS series shocks and I could replace my lower part of the shock with the pin if I really wanted to. I just self centered it and took it to a local race shop so they can look at it when I was redoing my alignment. No binding issues anymore.

I appreciate the info on these. I get the same feeling, people feel like theyre junk cause theyre low priced. I think because of this some are reluctant to try them out thus there aren't many reviews regarding them for our model. But like you mentioned I have heard nothing but good things regarding the brand.
Just trying to get as much information as I can. Good to know about the spring rates, I was debating going stiffer if I went this route.
I'll have to look into your last paragraph a little more, the last thing I would want is to receive the coilovers and see there are parts missing. Seems like a relatively easy fix tho so thats a plus.
