Taiwanese made coilovers I'm pretty sure. Nothing special, I don't mind the ride quality, I don't think they would be all that good for racing. I don't track my 8 just yet but wanted to go lower than springs would allow, so they work for me. Depends on what you want them for, if your planning on racing, SAVE UP.
Just $.02 from an owner of BC's.

Yeah 99% street use and possibly a track twice a year, nothing special... just an option as I've found quite a cheap deal on them, but won't touch JUST because they're cheap, however, are they much better than original OEM?

You got the same ones?

I bought a set of BR coils and I like them. They are better than the Koni-stock spring set up I used in the past.

I autocross at every chance and this suspension delivers good handling. The trick is to NOT lower the car too much. I left 1.75 inches above the tire to wheel well. This way you get full travel on the shocks without bottoming.

What I like most is softening the shocks for the daily drive. Handles and rides nicer than OEM setup.

I am sure there are better coils out there but for the $$, they are worth it.

I like them a lot for street driving. 8k front 10k rear springs set 5 clicks from full soft and it's more comfy than stock IMO. I'm just not the biggest fan of the design.

Mmmm, well going on a track day 8th May at Donnington in the UK, and wouldn't mind having it setup for then at least... very tempting...

They suck. I had a custom set of BCs on my miata, did about 12 drift days on those. Felt like monkeys valved it.
