Coilover install on Wednesday - help me set up my drop height!
So this really isn't a suspension related topic, more of an esthetic/visual topic...
I'm getting BC Racing coilovers installed Wed and looking to give the shop a specific measurement to drop the car to. Looking for an aggressive drop, not quite as aggressive as Calvin's, somewhere around djkhanvict's, chrIS250's ect...
I was hoping you could post a pic of your drop and let me know the specific measurement from your rim lip to fender lip...

if they install it for you, all you need to adjust the height to your specific setting is a jack (i use the one thats in the trunk) and take off your wheel. you have access to the adjustments once the wheel is off and its easy to do. the more you do it, the more familiar you would get with it. good luck and have fun most importantly!
bwhahaha!

sall good, were just on different shades of whats 'low'. right now on my H&R Springs my fender lip is actually lower then my my tire height if you follow what I'm saying... only slightly though... its every so slightly tucked. I'm looking to slam I guess.

haha i replied back to your PMed man! but like i said i sold my 19'' so I'm on stock right now
so no point to measure it. And when i swap in the BC i put the suspension in then i adjust it till i like it! So i don't really know how low we adjust it. Pretty much with 19'' i have gap front and rear.

well figured I'd post back since I started this thread and now that my coil's are installed... I'm sitting 2 & 1/4 inch above my rim lip.
I tried going lower but it rubs WAY too much. I think about 2 & 1/4 is the sweet spot with the offsets I'm running - 19x8.5/9.5 +22 all the way around.
Even with this I'm still rubbing a bunch in the front, so much so that my IS is at the body shop as I type this post, getting major mods done to my inside fender liner (front).
