What are the specs on the spacers?

How much did you get them for if you don't mind me asking.

I guess they built for the bucket?

Very glad to have read this thread, I'm planning to go with BC's and want something that will adjust back up for winter as well.

I am wanting to get bcs so I can adjust the height up as well for Canada's harsh winter's. This gives me some insight on that, could you post pics later on if possible with the different heights with spacers etc?

^In for more info as well. I'm a little worried about the BC's reliability in cold too, especially with the single tube design. Salt and cold temps do damage for sure, not to mention nasty roads around here, especially in winter months. They seem to have a pretty decent rep, but given that the bulk of sales are south of the border, and most guys don't run CO'd cars in winter anyways, it's tough to put too much stake into. Guess that could be said about anything tho.

So my cousin added the spacer that BC Racing sent us to gain more height in the rear.
It fixed the hieght issue, but as for a winter set-up, even maxed out on the spacer I wouldnt recommend drivng it in the snow. The car clears the rims now with about 1 finger gap.

Yea i would recommend getting the 230 springs so you won't have to go thru the hassle of the spring spacer and youll get more adjustment.

I dont even know what is going on in this thread... some inexperience or something. I would be more than glad to take a pic of my car in its first year of winter mode, but my car has 3+ fingers in the front and around 3 in the back. This is from stock outside of tire to fender.

That is with the 210mm and no spacer. Someone is doing something wrong on your install. If i did a 3/4" longer spring or a spacer it would be higher than stock...
