Installed them today. Pretty simple install. Make sure you have a breaker bar! The front 19MM bolts are a ***** to take off/on.
Anyhoo, I took the car out for a drive and all I can say is WOW! I have it set on full soft and it feels better than the stock suspension. Keep in mind all I did was bolt these in. No alignment, no playing with the camber or toe or anything. I didn't even play with ride height. Just put them on and went for a drive. They damp bumps better than stock and the ride feels flatter with less roll...and that's on full soft. Over the coming days I'll play with the ride height and probably increase the dampening a bit.
Stay tuned for a full review in a couple weeks.

Forgot to mention that I weighed the BC coilovers and the stock set up on my bathroom scale. Not sure how accurate this method is, but here's what I got...
stock front = 20.6 lbs per side
BC front = 10.4 lbs per side
stock rear = 10.6 lbs per side
BC front = 8.4 lbs per side
So, a total of 24.8 lbs of unsprung weight. Not too bad
Here's a link to some pics...

Do these keep the same ride height as stock? Living in Chicago with the well maintained roads, the potholes can swallow a tire so a stock ride height is what I would need.

Just bolted on without adjusting height, they seem to be at stock height. You can increase or decrease the height (not sure of the range of movement). So, you should be fine with ride height. And, these damp potholes and bumps better than stock.
