Hey, so i finally got myself a brand new set of BCR coilovers with 12k/10k spring rates from a member on board (is_baby). i had the best experience dealing with her so if you guys see anything on sale from her just go for it. she shipped the package literally an hour after i paid for it.

now i have a few questions that i wanted to ask and hopefully have them answered before i install these bad boys. my goal is to eliminate the body roll and make the car as planted as possible. at the same time i want zero gaps. my wheels are 18 x 8 +35 i believe. so here are my questions:

1) with the above mentioned wheel specs can i basically slam my car (zero gaps) without scrapping and rubbing with sometimes 4 passengers in the car?
2) what are the stock dampening setup and what should be i running to achieve goals listed above?
3) how necessary is to align my wheels given that i would have to change my tires in few months? should i wait and align the car after i got my tires replaced?

thanks in advance for all your help.

Congrats on your new coils! I have 12k/10k on my BCRacing coils, and am on 18x9/18x10. On 18s, you may hit your chassis on certain roads when slammed. You should be fine using 18x8 w/o doing fender work.

You can try setting the damping to around the middle (15/30) and adjust it from there to your desired ride. Driving with a full car has a different feel to driving by yourself.

When you adjust the height, it's a good idea to align the car. The misalignment will only speed up the wear on your tires, but if you're changing them in a few months, it's no big deal.
