Tts quite subjective as BC cost prob abt 1.3k n fightex abt 3k plus I tink...so depend on ur budget. In terms of durability,it also depend on the user.everyday do hard cornering de coilover will wear out fast one la...
Also every woman is different in their own ways so hard to say if ur wife will notice de chg or not.Any aftermarket coilover will definitely be stiffer than stock

Unless your wife is used to harsher ride from aftermarket suspension, I highly doubt you can fool her -- Mugen maybe, but Fightex and BC quite difficult....

so wanna take the risk, go for BC so that if forced to demod.. at least the $$$ loss is much less. :wink:

Unless it's a long and thin screwdriver, I doubt your method will work for Fightex.

Fightex rear suspension units already come with the adjustment tool inserted, but in order to use them, you got to cut off a chunk of plastic so that you can reach the tool. If not, then you got to find a long and thin enough screwdriver to adjust the clicks.
