Default AWD bc racing coil...

Hi people, i just lowered my car with BC racing coil today! Thank you to Peter Pang from Next mod with the purchase and advance powerhouse for the installation! What do you guys think? is it too low for 19inch without rubbing and for Canada's winter??! Sorry for the bad picture quality and wrong date! I will take a few better pics when the weather is better and will write a review on the coil once the alignment is done!

not low enough in the front. lower it more to make it even with the rear height and you're golden =]

15 clicks - medium setting! I am testing the damper, but i am gonna go toward the softer side. I am not really sure how much i lowered because the coil does not have number labelled on it!

you need to use a tape measure and measure thread space on coil perches when you lower it. Make it 1/2" lower on pass. side so it sits even left to right also.

yep, we even it out already by measuring the wheel height but even if its really uneven right now, i am gonna fix it when i do my alignment. Next mod did a really good job on my installation!

Oh yah forgot to mention Laobo979 and love67 with their great help and Peter pang @ Next mod with their good price and fast delivery ( i only had to wait for 1 week to get my coil)

Today i changed the setting to 5 clicks soft all around and the car feel alot better and smoother! It has decreased rolling in both sharp turn and braking! BC racing is so much better than tein in both quality and price.
