BC coilover review and install.
I got the BC coilovers through Circuit Motorsports and I have to say these guys offer great customer service, when you call you get a real person not a machine and they are very courteous and knowledgeable. Over all the construction on the coilovers is great and I see what they meant by the ride height locking ring being better designed. Also these things give a great ride quality on the softest setting the ride quality was very near stock. Take it I'm on rubber band tires and I was really low until I got the car aligned this morning.
Again a big
to Circuit Motor sports for standing by the product they sell.
Coilovers.
Here are the pictures from my Install.
All I did to remove the rear shocks was remove the spindle, shock and sway bar bolt and nut. Only loosen the nut on the control arm that where it attaches to the sub-frame you only need this so the arm can swing freely.
The front is really easy start by taking off the end link on the sway bar, no need to remove it from the lower control arm. Then remove the two 14mm bolts the hold the upper control arm to the car once that is done you can remove the lower shock nut and bolt. These bolt are mismatched for some reason the nut is a 19mm and the bolt is a 17mm. Then just step down on the spindle and out comes your front shock.
Finished stance right now I have them set at 10 in the rear and 8 in the front and it's still too soft for. I personally like a stiff ride but that's just my preference.
