Hey guys I just recently purchased a set of BC coils true coil front and rear with 10/8 spring rates. I put the rears on already and noticed that they barely dropped my car with it being maxed out on how low it will go.
My eibach sportlines dropped the rears more than the coils. I had a little tire tuck with my 20s with the sportlines but now with the coil I have a finger gap =[

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this the max drop that I will get from the BCs...

 

somethings is wrong

Princedrama what are the specifics of your BC coils? I have the true coilover style with 10/8 spring rates.

As for pics I will be putting on the fronts this thursday and taking a look again at the rears so I will have pics then.

For now all I can describe what it looks like is the lowest collar is about 2-3inches from the middle collar. The strut wont thread into the lower half of the strut to adjust height anymore =[.
So im assuming im maxed out.

I didnt touch the spring or mess with the preload

Was hoping these coils would drop my rear around 2.5inches but iono

This is my stance with the sportline springs


With the coils now, I have a 1finger gap in the rear.

 

Doesn't sound like things are installed right. Even with the need for springs to settle, you should be able to go much lower. I have function form II's, and I know they drop lower than BC's, but I am a good amount lower with a ton more adjustment left. We really need pics to make sure everything is setup right. But without any reference, just make sure you have totally removed the old spring I guess...

 

Yup I have removed the old springs, do I have to actually remove the spring bucket? Ill take pics this thursday if its not resolved yet =[

 

Don't have to but some do for the mix of weight savings and being able to change away from using toe bolts.
