Default BC Racing coils finally on!

Took a few quick pics. Nothing special. Only complaint right now, the rears aren't going lower.

Very nice! IMO you're ride height is perfect. Love those rims, looks kinda OEM even.

Yeah! The rears being just a tick higher gives it a nice rake!

Nice! if you wanna drop the rears a little more and have the rear struts working at their optimal ranges, i would recommend a rear SS-kit.

That's a nice daily driving height. Any rubs over bumps or turning?

Looks great!

What spring rates did you end up going with, and how is it to drive?

The BC coils are weird cause they go LOWWW in the front and then so so in the back.. SS kit is the best bet

thanks! I love the front, just wish the rear could go another 1/4" to match the front.

I've been itching to get these on. Prob had them for close to two months now and finally had a place so I could work on it recently.

I said that as soon as I put it down, but still want that rear lower.

Possibly once I get the car dialed in. I was rushing to make a huge meet this weekend.

I love them so far. Still miss the extreme comfy stock ride, but I can't expect that out of a slammed car.

The rear is as low as it can go, it would not turn anymore.

Yeah, i may have to look into that. Didn't wanna have to spend the extra money on a ss-kit though.

Rubs alot right now b/c my tire size in the front and the rear fenders were cut a long time ago to fit these wheels at stock height. Haven't had issues rubbing the front lip yet though.

I went with the 10k/8k regular rates, but the rubber mounts instead to get a little softness back. lol Drives great so far.

Yeah, its kinda annoying that it's like that. Oh well.

I have Megans, how do they compare to the BC's? In terms of quality and adjustability to the BC's.
