HSD Coilovers?

I'm finally joining the elite low gang, and I'm trying to decide which coilovers I want. Now before you bash it and say get Fortune Auto or Stance, or blah blah blah. I am not spending $1800 on a set of coilovers. I'm pretty set on either HSD, or BC Racing. I have friends who have been running HSD on R33's, Legacy's, 8th Gen Civic's, and they all love them, say they're very streetable, and the quality is quite good, plus theres a local dealer, and I can get them in within a week. My other choice is BC Racing, and I have found very little info about them, and as far as I have heard is they are quite stiff, plus I'd have to get them shipped from further away. Does anyone have any experience with these coils on a FC? Or maybe there is a brand in the mid range that I'm over looking?

U don't have to spend $1800 to get a decent coilover. I have no experience with either of the ones u listed but u can get some powered by max for 1k, or teins for 1300. If you are spending north of 1500 then you are getting into the higher end stuff.

I have BC's. I like them a lot, haven't really been in an FC on different coilovers to compare them too though. They soak up big bumps really good, like getting onto overpasses and stuff like that. A little stiff on quick stuff like pot hole, but it's probably just because of how low I have my car.
