I run BC extreme drop...20k front 18k rear...I have the dampening set high...my roads suck...i daily my car...I live in DC...and I love this suspension lol!...if you are used to comfort...then this might not be for you...I forgot how comfort feels like...BUT the way my car feels right now I think is comfortable...but others might not enjoy it everyday...it will def. do what the name implies. CircuitMS hit it on the spot. Good luck!

I would STRONGLY consider your final ride height level vs the avg road terrain seen before any spring rate commitment. Nothing worse & bothersome than modding your ride and can't stand to ride in it for the most part. I'm also considering setups maxxing out the dampening. All my cars are coilover equppied currently & I spent ALOT of time selecting the right setup. Some are DD's and some are hardcore (HKS,Tein, Bilstein,Megans & BC). I personally run 12/10kg BC's on the GS ... G L

Yo Plat. This is Carlos. I'm one of Jake's friends with the black GS3 out here in Portland. I'm ordering a set of BC coils on the extreme drop kit here hopefully by the end of the month. Going to run a 20/18 as well here. If you plan on SLAMMING be sure to get the higher spring rates. I know roads aren't TOO bad, but there's always those few areas out here.

1. Once wheel is off grip the spring with your hand jiggle it side to side or back and forth which ever your preference. If there's a lot of movement that means your preloads are off.
2. The collars at the bottom of the spring break the second one free and then tighten the first one until the the the spring has less play but not too tight you still want a little play.
3. Once that is done screw the second back up to tighten it against the first and then you should be set.

The bottom I used about 4 screw to hold that thing on but the part that goes right under the grill always comes off cause Im using double sided tape. But its only the passenger side that comes off even though I hit both sides.
You got it off the Matco tool truck ?? What is the name of the glue ? Let me know ! I need it bad lol
