For all you awd guys out there. Here is a shot for you.

Yes sir. They came in. Will try to put them on tonight or this weekend. Here is a shot for you.



Ok mini review. It took me about 3 hours to do the fronts. The reason why is adjusting to my liking and making it level on both side. BTW I have not done the rears yet because I am tired and have to get up early tomorrow.

Ride is great, went driving around on soft first. Almost felt like stock but alittle stiffer. Then stuck on stiff. What can I say, it was pretty stiff, but not bone jarring stiff. I finally found a comfort level for me smack dab in the middle. I like that setting.

Ok one thing I was worried about was the "clunking noise". I did not hear anything so that is great.

My only grip and will talk to BC Racing is that it need alittle bit more adjustment in height wise. When I first put them on, I guess they were set at a height. It was slammed. Really close on tucking rim. So I thought no problem, I will raise up some. I raised it alot, but when I put it down, still slammed.

Now I am really close to the end of the thread of the coilover. I actually had to raise the spring up to get an inch or so.

So other than that I am really happy with the front and like I said, I will give my feedback to BC Racing and see if I can get a new lower mount that is about 1-2 longer and it will be prefect.

I will work on the rear this weekend and then give another review.

On to some pics, They are not the best pics. Sorry.


32 way adjustablity



This is the lower mount I was talking about. Also as you can see I could have went lower than it came.




These next two shot are while the car is on jackstand. Look almost tucking tire while up in the air.




Now the car off stands










I will try to get more pics of the car this weekend at the height I like. Hope you enjoyed this mini review, any question ask and I will try to answer the best I can.

Yeah no kidding its been along time. I guess my precistants (sp) paid off.

On a good note I almost think they will fit on the new gens too. If I knew someone in Seattle that had one, I would let them test fit them.

I was noticing how the mount/collar is on the bottom of that strut. I've installed coils on a G37 before and if I remember correctly, it looks very similar.
