I've bottomed out my BC coilovers in the rear and they're not low enough. To get a little lower I adjusted the collar on the rear springs but that softened them up enough that on bumps I'm getting contact between the wheel and fender. I haven't even started on the fronts yet but I don't think they'll be a problem, my issue is mostly in back, for now at least.

Anyone got any ideas? Or am I just out of luck and soon to be in the market for new coilovers? I probably should have just gone for Stance coils in the first place but I ordered them while I was deployed and hadn't planned (at the time) to go nearly this low and didn't see the need to spend the extra cash.

 

Get a hold of BC coilover they have a kit you can order for the rear to lower your car even more. I have BC with 12kg spring up front an 10kg spring in the rear.

 

you still using the rubber buffer? By not using that will drop you about an inch.

 

Nope, not using the rubber buffer.

Pete, what's the cost of that kit and what all is in it?

 

Leksikon if I remember correctly when I talked to them it is a different spring with a load of 8kg.

 

Leksikon I noticed you live in NC give CIN motorsport a call in Charlotte they installed my coilovers for me did a great job. Are you going to the import show in Charlotte on 7/28 at ZMax track?

 

I've met with the guys at CIN before, good folks but too far, I'm several hours away. Probably not making the ZMax show at this rate either, I'm avoiding long trips until I figure this out. Will look into the other option with BC this week, maybe that'll help.

 

yeah shouldve gone with stance in the first option. i did the same as you, i bought megans and wasnt satisfied with the drop, and now my stance coils are on order.

but to get a good SLAM on my megans i removed the collars in the rear spring bucket.
if you have the oem style bc coils you should try it maybe get you about half inch lower. depending on the size of the collars. and yeah they sell a retrofit kit for the rear to convert it to true rea coilover set up. but i remember talking to the guy and it was a cost of a brand new set of coilovers. so you should probably just order stance coils. i got mine for a good price at 1180 from vexmotorsports
