    Why don’t many people run these coilovers? I am in the market for some and $950 is sounding really good to me over $1195 BC’s. IMG_1217.png

    You get what you pay for.

    Graveyard doesn't have the ability or knowledge to manufacture their suspension components in-house, so they go to a mass market distributor. They have a $950 price point, which includes their markup. They are also a low-volume buyer, so they don't have the ability to make any large customizations beyond the color. You could probably drop by $300 in price and buy from an actual well-known (if not well reputed) suspension company and get the same quality since they all buy from the same sources.

    Suspension isn't a place I would try to save a few bucks. The Bilstein kit is priced similar to the bc set as well

    Ugh Graveyard..... As EB mentioned just go Bilstein at that price point if you really want coil overs.

    You get what you pay for dude, I wouldn't even put BC coils in my car. Run some Bilsteins.

    Mtnbiker is right ugh graveyard...I for one don't trust them, from business practices to build quality

    All of this and this cost of Bilsteins is probably why people aren't really running them

    Yeah I had a lackluster experience with them to put it nicely. Lesson learned, I'll spend my money elsewhere

    OP you can get the Bilstein B14 kit for the same price from Rock Auto. You won't get a warranty through RA though. I'd rather have a B14 kit with no warranty vs whatever garbage you'll get from Graveyard.

    I witnessed someone get doubleteamed hard by both Graveyard and Drama. Drama didn't do the worst of it though.

    You should be able to get the warranty through rock auto, it even lists it as life time warranty on the product on rock auto.

    I've done it for Moog parts no problem I just place order then return the new order under warranty for an old order and they refunded the money once they got my old part back pretty sure they even paid shipping atleast back to them from Canada.

    Well I was referring to Bilsteins warranty as RA is not an authorized retailer. If RA will warranty them that would be great news.
