Default Quick phone pics dropped on BC Racing

went from Eibach prokit (1.4f/1.0r) to BC Racing (Thanks to CMS)

Took me a few days to find the sweet spot for the dampening which was 18/15 starting from softest.

(20/16-18)= too stiff/bumpy for me;
(19/18-15)= slightly too bumpy;
(18/16-14)= 18 perfect/15 perfect;
(17/16-14)= slightly too bouncy;
(16/16-12)= bounce more and rub rub rub!

Well here are pics...
First one was the BEFORE BC Racing.

thanks everyone.... i AM on spacers.. there is no gap/space between my fender and wheels... i tried to show that with the finger pic, but ****ty phone camera couldn't capture that... i can slide a construction paper through and thats about it... the fronts are rolled and i had to shave off the metal piece that screws the bumper to the fender.

its soft with just enough stiff in it. Stiff enough to not bounce on bumps and soft enough to not feel every bump on the road.. i think OEM soft is a little too soft. (makes you sleepy after a while)
