If you wanna get rid of those swifts, lmk I can get you a set of BC coils.

I just wanted to break it down and get to the real reason why you would call something crap. (Not you specifically) but anyone that says that something is "crap" gives the company a bad rep for no reason...

If you have had a set of their parts on YOUR OWN car, used them and had an issue that wasn't resolved, I could see your reason for calling them crap. Knowing otherwise makes it seem as if you state that stuff based off what you SEE which, in my opinion, isn't right.

Nothing personal as I'd be having the same conversation with anyone else if they made such a statement. That is all.
They are crap, though, from a performance standpoint.

If your goal is to just lower your car, then sure I guess they're okay. But for performance? They aren't good. They're likely even worse than stock.

No one who actually knows suspensions would ever recommend them. Yes, BC ERs are okay for track use, but that's an entirely different animal. BC BRs are just not performance coilovers. They're just the go-to "forum brand" that a lot of people who hard park their cars use.

Also, while I've never used them personally, my buddy was running them on his Forester. One shock failed after less than 2k miles.
