^ S techs are horrible springs, the drop is mad low but you will hate the ride quality, i would go with Coupe H&R's you will be much happier with them just saying.

I have H&R's they are the best springs i have had, good drop and very good ride quality. I went thru 4 different springs till i found H&R's being the best and i had BC coils as well.

How much of a drop does the "highest" setting on the BC coils yield? I'm getting ready to buy BC coils, but don't want more than a 1.5" drop so that I can hopefully avoid the problems/worries that come with a slammed car.

I have Sedan H&R's on my RWd. With AWD the drop is obviously lower but still looks hot and very comfortable ride.

Hey this is for all you fellow bc coilover owners out there, have or did any of you guys max out your CO's height during the winter and how close was it to stock? I've read here that the backs don't go as high as the fronts so I'd have to order the additional ring to go on the back spring for an additional $40? I bought mine back in November but I read somewhere they revise it? Not sure winter is a ways away haha but just wanted to know so I can get them put in now so when winter comes I can just crank it up!

FYI - after 5k miles so far so good but still wanting to tinker around with the ride comfort. I know how to adjust preload in the fronts but anyone know how to do the preloads in the back or have a write up of that? I'm sure there's a way to "perfectly" match shock height to spring height" but just wanted to know you're guys knowledge on that. So far so good thought for those considering bc's IMO

i too have been looking for a write up for the rear but i havent found anything yet. but alot of people suggest adjusting the spring first then the shock to match.

@flyinglumpia - how much preload did you set your fronts? i beleive factory was 5mm, i have mine at 10mm.

I have a popping noise coming from my front suspension and from reading it sounds like it might be the swaybar endlinks. Anybody else have theirs go out even with a mild drop and stock sways? I know it's a common problem on these cars, but it usually seems to happen to those guys with aftermarket swaybars. I guess changing the springs out probably speeds up the wear on them as well.
