Exclamation **URGENT** SoFla Help Needed!!

Installed my coils today and ran in to an issue. I do not have the wrenches to adjust them before my alignment.

Anyone in South Florida have the tools that came with the BC Racing coilovers? If you do, PLEASE e-mail me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I'm going to an alignment shop that is first come first serve first thing in the morning before I head back to Tallahassee and a 500 mile drive.

Thanks in advance and I can be reached at mikeh90@aol.com

That sucks man. Did you get them fixed? Wonder if the shop would have some laying around. Glad to see you got the coils on! How do you like them?

Got them adjusted and they are at an excellent daily driver height. There is basically no wheel gap at all, which I LOVE! Only problem I'm running in to is a strange popping noise coming from the rear of my car. It sounds like I ran over an acorn or something when I drive slowly over uneven pavement or up driveways. I wonder if something is just loose or if I have a real problem. Other than that, the BC's are amazing.

Make sure the top nuts are tight. Not the nuts that bolt to the car but the nuts that hold the top hats down.

Is it dangerous for the coilovers to be left like this for a little while? Can it damage the spring or hats from being driven on? I already drove 500 miles like this

I wish I could help you but I have Megan coilovers. I don't think its that much of a hazard but don't take my word for it.
