I have BC BR coilovers on my 05 LGT in Northern NJ (for the past 3 years/winters). They have served their purpose: squat and dive reduction, handling improvement, ride height adjustment. The ride is very harsh which I don't mind (unlike many passengers). But the front 2 now need new shock cartridges which can be purchased through BC for $95 each. But I will be purchasing koni/spring combination to replace the BC's. Northern NJ is definitely not the friendliest place for coilovers unless you are switching them in and out over the winter. If I had to do it all over again I would do a koni/spring combo to start. My personal opinion is that low end coilovers are not very good (it is what it is). Higher end coilovers like RCE tarmacs or even better, the AST's whitetiger is currently selling in the member classifieds are well worth the money if you have it. Just take good care of the coilovers to prolong the need to have them rebuilt. Swap them out in the winter (if possible) if you live in a place that has cold/snowy winters.
koni/spring combo > cheap coilovers
quality coilovers > koni/spring combo
But if someone is just looking to adjust ride height and could care less about drivability BC's may serve there purpose perfectly.

Good eye, my dog was in the backseat that day, and the pic was from a hike up there a few months ago...

spotted silver LGT today around 3:15 on 7 lakes road in NY. I was at the rotary with a bunch of other motorcycles (on my bike, not in my LGT). it had wheels, springs/lowered, and big friggin exhaust.
That was me, on the way home from octoberfest at Bear Mountain last week.
