Just did BC coilover conversion... pick up the car today. The height is about the same as stock. 15 click front and 15 click rear feel like Airmatic suspension Sport 1. How many click to feel firm but not too harsh ? 20 ? same for front and rear ?

22 is how I run mine, I would start at 20 and see how you like it... I ran them at 24 but it was a little too rigid

Yes, Front and rear are the same for me now. I may drop it to 20 and 20 and see how that feels when I get my car back. I am playing with it at the moment
Honestly I would want it firmer in the rear anyway you run it. That will allow for less walking around of the rear end and keep the tires firmly planted IMHO
The front being a bit softer would give you less perceivable 'bounce" and a bit softer of a ride

For those who have converted, what has your tire wear been like? Did you need adjustable arms OR camber bolts? I was looking at having mine just a little lower than stock - maybe half inch...

When i installed it a year ago, the high was exact the same as stock. Couple weeks or months later, the car sit about .5 inch lower.
My tires wear so far so good for the past 1 year.
