Do you know how low BC's go when maxed out?

The BC rears don't go low enough or get stiff enough for my purposes. Have Stance GR+s on the way (true rear style coil rather than separate strut/spring).

If you're planning on going 2-3" already, I'd imagine that at some point you're going to want to go lower than that. Even if you don't and you "only" go 2-3" that's a pretty good drop. Save a couple extra bucks for the Stance setup, imo.

For reference, the Stance true rear GR+ is costing me less than $300 more than what I got my BCs for.

if you wanna go low you should go with stance gr+. i got em on my coupe. and im LOOOWW, i got an inch half clearance under my car. and got more room to go lower if i wanted to. the ride is stiff. havent used BC coils before but i heard they could go low but some people say otherwise. the gr+ is about the same price range as the BCs maybe a lil more.

For what it's worth, unless this has changed in the last year or two, changing out your spring rates or any other options will add to the cost. I still think you'd be better off looking into Stance based on what you stated as your drop goal earlier.

You're also, as far as I remember, getting a progressive spring rather than a linear spring.

If you do go with the BCs I'm sure you'll be fine, they aren't a bad setup. They just end up a little limited if you try to slam it.

I probably should have asked this earlier too, what size wheels are you going to be running? I was fine with my 20s with a mild offset (10.5/9.5 +5) but stepping down to more aggressive 19s created some problems.
