So do you recommend the BC coilovers upgrade for a daily driver duties on a CVCC? I had BC's before on my EP3 CTR and they rode quite nice for a heavier car.

Hi,
I would at this point. I have hardly put any mileage on them yet so I may change my mind - but I no longer rub my front tire when making turns.
I got 4.5 kg front and 3.5 kg back and have them set exactly as they came out of the box.

A short update is in order. I have been using the car pretty regularly this year. The new suspension is a bit firm but not a problem. It handles really well. I can still set the shocks softer if I need to. There is a slight vibration at highway speed (100 kmh+) so I think I need an alignment.
The car is running pretty well. I think it benefits from regular use as it seems to shift better - or I could just be getting used to it. It used to need starter fluid if it wasn't driven for a couple of days but that doesn't happen anymore. It still stinks though and has started bucking if I give it too much gas before the engine is warm. Terrible gas mileage. I have bought a pertronix ignition and will try it and some timing adjustments later in the year. I have a new weber carburetor to put on also.
I have removed my after market mirrors and put the original back on. Works better and I am getting used to looking over my shoulder. (patched the mounting holes in the passenger door with a strip of duct tape)
I have replaced all the door rubber and will be replacing the rubber for the hatch and quarter windows this summer. It's made a big difference in the noise level.
Last, but not least, I have new caps for the wiper arm nuts.
I am having fun.
