BC BR Type RS or BC V1 Design VS

The stock shocks on my PN35 RWD are fairly tired and not giving the damping they should.  It sounds like BC coil overs are the best bet for a cost effective upgrade for general street use.  But which model?  

The BC BR Type RS and BC V1 Design VS sound almost the same and only $100 between them.  Same adjustment, both mono tube, same spring rates and both rubber mounts.   The only difference seems to be a slightly larger piston and cylinder size on the BR Type RS but for general street use I wouldn't think this would make much difference

I can certainly help you out with this one.

Looks like you've already done some research on both series.
I usually recommend the V1 series to those who daily their car to and from work and just want the basic height adjustment. You still have the damper adjustment.

The BR series do in fact use a slightly larger cylinder size which ultimately handles more abuse. The BR type would be suitable if you intend on taking your car to the track every so often. It sounds like you've opted for the rubber tops which would be a good indication to me that you want more comfortability on the road. If $100 isn't a worry, I do suggest opting for the BR's.

While we're on the topic of differences, how do the BC gold compare?
