So I just installed my BC racing coilovers this past weekend and was trying to adjust the ride height. The front is where I want them but the rear is a issue.

My question is.....

1. Is there any correction for the driver side rear that sits lower than the passenger side? I read that it is often lower than the passenger side rear. I've maxed out the driver side threads on the spring and and damper and its about a 1/4 inch lower compared from the passenger side.

2. When trying to raise the rear to a more comfortable height, the rear coilovers and springs seem be maxed out with the threads on them. I have a finger gap space between my tire and my rear fender. I'm running a 18x9.5 +20 with a 275/40/18 tire. I don't mind being low but I expected a little more clearance if I wanted to. In addition, if the coilovers settle any futher I'll be in trouble.

 

just get the pics so we can confirm if it is all setup right.

 

Lol

 

I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I can.

I would adjust the height on the driver side rear but like I said before I've already started to max out on the threads on the spring and damper already. I only read one thread here that said that is normal. Just looking for another opinion.

 

Driver side lower is normal, mine is/was 1/4in.

I had to raise the drivers side quite a bit to even it out. For the rear it can be more difficult if you have the thread locks out.

 

I guess there is no way to correct that problem?

 

My BCs came with a gold spacer (~20mm) for the rear springs. These allow me to raise the car to stock height (or above, if one wanted to do that).

 

But you have the X. Not sure If those gold spacers are used for the non X's.

 

I talked to a BC rep today and they said it seems like a spring issue. I need to buy another of set of rear springs that comes out to 230mm which should help. But I'm going to wait it out and have everything setup before I decide to get the new ones. I'm trying to have a finger gap clearance all around. The car is purely a project now and won't see a snowy road so it may not be worth it. I just like having the ability to raise and lower it if I ever need to. Ideas?
