Just installed Bc br coilovers on coupe w/ extenders
I just installed Bc racing br coilovers on my 05 coupe I will say this suspension for the cost is nice and I love the adjustment from body and not spring adjusted. I had a old school hks rs suspension on it that was shot so it was time for replacement. I installed the extenders in the back for those that ever have question about it you have to pull back the trunk liner and reach the shock tower and drill a hole for the extender can go through then cut a x in the trunk liner so you can push extender through. Here are some pics of my install

What's your thoughts on the ride compared to your old Hks?

If you had a sedan with the reclining back seats like the cool kids do you wouldn't have to do all that work for an extender. Recline the seat backs forward and you have access to the shock top and the adjustment knobs. I love that feature on my car........

I do do like that reclining part of sedans and I might consider buying a sedan in time to build on cause indeed I'm trying to be a cool kid too. |

If you pull back the trunk liners around where the shock would be you will see the hole I’m talking about because you will be able to see light through it before you install the shock. I’ll send pics just give me till later on this morning |

Just pull away the trunk liner and same on other side you will find a hole and you can see through the hole and see the light if your shock has not been installed yet. |
