BC racing coilovers
I've had great experiences with this company in the past, but that was on Fords and Subarus, so I'm looking for opinions about putting them on the C5 base. I don't intend to lower it, getting in and out of parking lots is difficult enough. I'm looking at 9k front, 11k rear. Any opinions?

If you check out Taylor Ray's channel on YouTube, he is the owner of a C5 and an employee at BC racing. I would presume he would be a good person to get feedback from regarding the setup. The channel is quite popular so you're probably best to contact through BC racing rather than social media
He does have an install video where he comments the shock length is a bit too much for the c5 and they would be looking at using a shorter shock. Depending on which configuration is used, you would want to make sure you can sure still get full wheel travel.

I called them a few days ago. He said they are working on a C5 specific set but it would be mid-June before they are done. I could get C6 and install them but they aren't available in custom rates, and I want custom rates, so I have to wait. I guess I'll just do swaybars and wait impatiently.
Thank you for the advice.
