Coils vs Springs for Rims?
BC seems to really cater to the scene and will hook you up with higher spring rates and valving, free of charge. They don't even charge for their 'extreme drop' setup, which is shorter springs and inserts.
They're really good for the money. I haven't rode in anything with BC's yet, but there's some Mazdaspeed3 guys out here that run them and love them.

"Best bet" is subjective.
I still vote coils. I waited 6 months to get the Hotchkis springs, even though DF210's were available. Thought about getting coils then, but didn't get them. Waited until about 8 months ago to finally get some. Should have got the coils from the beginning. But that's me. It's all on how low you want to go. All the DF210's I've installed feel pretty decent. My Hotchkis springs were a bit stiffer. My coils are stiff, but bareable. I just have to slow down for bumps in the road and dips.
If you get coils, just get the bumper sticker that reads: "be patient, I'm lowered".

BC is my opinion. I haven't used them, but would really like to. I like what they've done for the stance-oriented community and their service seems top notch. Their product is very nice for its price point, as well. The D2BD coils are also VERY nice. I love my KSports and haven't had an ounce of problem with them. I just don't like the lack of the provision for locating the ABS wire and brake line. The brackets they include are very flimsy and the wrong size for the strut/knuckle bolt.
Import Image Racing is where I would get BC's from, or any of the ScionLife vendors. Please check with our vendors first. They support us, so we should support them!

*sigh* zipties... that's what I've done. As much as it pains me to do so, I feel it was my only option at the time. I've been thinking about cutting off the stock provision off the OEM struts, welding on a piece of strap steel, then welding that to a washer that I can put on the knuckle/strut mount.
