Hi Everyone,

Just installed BC coilovers and first I will say love the way the car handles. I was concerned about the drop b/c my driveway has a steep grade and lip at the top. The shop said they would do a slight drop. When I picked it up they said they have it as high as they can and its low. I can't see the top of my tires and I can't get in and out of my driveway without bottoming out. Any thoughts on if this is accurate or ideas on what I can do to raise it up a bit.

Thanks!

 

are you going at an angle to get up the drive way?

 

Those coilovers shpuld go close to stock height

 

^^ yes i have tried twice at different angles. Going to try a few more today.

^That is what i heard. That these should go close to stock, not sure why the shop is saying they are as high as they can go.

 

i would check to see if there fully extended.

 

Granted, I have a V36, but your scenario is possible. For our cars, the standard spring height for the rears won't allow for OEM ride height, or even close to it, when fully extended. Solution is to either order a longer spring, or the spacers.

Take a look under your rears and see where the perch sits. For the fronts, it should raise to even beyond OEM height.

 

Put a few strips of wood down..ull be good. oR u could give me those and take my eibach pro kit.

 

Take off your wheels and take a look if they are fully extended or not

 

I have brand new rear spring spacers for BC coils for sale in the marketplace $40 shipped
