Question Coilover Question

Hello,

I just purchased a set of BC Coilovers to put on my 07 Coupe.

Do I NEED/REQUIRE anything else?

Or can I just go ahead with the install and alignment.

Advance Thanks

install wait about 2 weeks, get it corner balanced and aligned. Coilovers without corner balance will make the car handle worse than with springs.

They need to settle, as far as the time goes, a week should be enough.

I just bought these for my car as well.. If you hadn't looked into this already:
Depending on how low you intend on going, you're going to need camber kits. I would get the rear one for sure because it's cheap. If you're going more than 1" drop on the front, I would recommend getting a front camber kit/upper A arms. They are more expensive but will allow you to get your front camber back in spec. SPL and 350evo are considered "the best" front kits, Cusco, Ichiba, and SPC will do, although some people have had fitment issues with the SPC kit.

I went with SPL.
