Default What spring rates is everyone running on their BC Racing coilovers

All,


Recently I fitted BC Racing coil-overs to my LS430. Lowered on 20s was the most atrocious feeling ever. On top of that there is some clunking which may be a faulty insert.

I have gone back to BC and asked for lower spring rates and they have told me they can provide 8k for the front instead of 10k but they will not provide any warranty for a 6k spring in the rear because it it is shorter than the 8k spring.

Can anyone actually tell me if they are running 8k 6k on their LS430 and how they accomplished this and who they ordered it through?

Im not sure if i should spend more money on softer springs or just go back to stock and save up for some teins.

I wouldn't spend any more on them,they should be taking them back under warranty.

If you do decide to perservere with the BC's,measure the ID and loose overall length of the springs. I might be able to help you find something to suit.
