Red Shift Motorsports Coilovers

Hey all, I'm trying to gain info on these lesser-known coilovers and how they perform on the R53. The product is the BC Racing Type BR Linear Piston. They're about the same price as the Megan Racing offerings, but my intent is to support lower volume guys.

Other vehicle applications seem promising, though there is little info on these being installed in the R53.

Why do no coilovers offer the option to set it to stock ride height? Id order some if they could but none do and they say a minimum of 1.4 is usual and thats more than I want and need...anything more than 3/4 drop i will rub but if I could get that 3/4in gone , damn I'd be perfect

Why not piece together a static setup? That's what I'm doing. I believe swift lowering springs will give you the drop your looking for. If adjustability isn't your thing, might be an option to consider
