I had the BR series on my Acura, they are good for the price. Made my type-s feel great while taking away almost all body roll. IF you do decide to proceed I would suggest noting down the following:

1) if its within your budget either upgrade to swift springs on them or get the DS series as these will improve overall feel.

DS series is definitely the way to go. BR series are just a street coilover and I think this is the first (and only one) that people see when they look up BC coilovers.

Sure, but with how much stiction/hysteresis/cavitation? Have you seen their dynos, will they provide you an mcr file for YOUR shocks with an entire sweep for the speeds you care about to know what you’ve actually got to analyze and base setup decisions on? Not ragging on BC per say, but what you’re really buying with high dollar shocks is consistency (my shock will generate the force I expect for a given setting under specific scenarios), repeatability (my valving will not change if my settings do not) and longevity (my valving will persist for a reasonable period of time after being built).
I’m not talking about BC, I’m talking about Feal Suspension.

For years on my previous builds I would buy Ohlins or KW Clubsports and send them directly to Feal for new springs and to get valved properly. I’ve also had them rebuild vintage JIC Coilovers for me in the past with great success. I have seen their dynos as every set as always been sent with my dyno sheet back to me. MCR files are available upon request.

My point is I’ve had everything from JRZ to BC and what you pay for on the higher end has everything to do with the valving. So starting with a good platform like Ohlins or club sports will give you a good foundation and a very good performing coilover at a fraction of the cost when valves properly.
