I cant find anywhere that tells you what the least amount of lowering is on them. Anyone know? I am looking to only drop about 1" or soo all around. Can this be accomplished? Looks like everyone wha has them has there cars dropped, is it just personal preference or is it that they lower the car a whole lot? I just picked up a set of 20" Asanti wheels and am looking to drop only about and inch - 1.5" Was going to use the Eibach Pro Kit, but i really want new shocks, and as far as I know there arent any out yet.

 

The BC shock itself is shorter than stock for 1,2 inch.

 

I have BC's, but not on an X. The fronts have a lot of adjustability, in fact i can raise it up even higher than OEM.

The rears, on the version i got, the highest it goes is about the same drop as an Eibach... or on my 255/40/19 wheels with slightly out-of-spec camber, zero finger gap. The fender lines up with the top of the tire.

I hear you can get a revised version of the BC BR's where the rear springs are longer so you can bring it back to OEM height if needed.

 

so right off the bat its sound slike the least amount of drop is 2", way too much for me, I am just looking for a 1- 1.5" drop tops.

 

Thanks for your input guys. Anyone know where I can find out the drop figures? Do i have to call BC themself?

 

i got the BC Coils on an X although i have not raised them at all. i am pretty low.

i dont think there is much of a difference between the X and non X coils

so if someone says they can raise em to OEM height then you should be good.

if youre gana go with a mild drop of about 1in - 1.5in springs might be the way since its way cheaper

 

Thanks chinky, I saw ur car looks good, but way too low for me and around the streets I have to drive on . I am thinking I am going with the Eibach pro kit, but just bummed that there are no shock upgrades out there. I have the sport model X , and it just hit 36K, should get 10K miles out of the stock shocks I would guess. By then hopefully they will have something.

 

no problem and Thanks!!

yeah i know what you mean about having a very limited selection of parts for the AWD models. we never get any love

i would have gone springs too but i then convinced myself to go all out so a couple of thousand of $$$$ down the road yeah....

 

I guess theres nothing more to discuss lol, I just ordered the Eibach Pro Kit right now. Ill worry about shocks down the road when they come out. Thanks for everyones input and help. I will be posting some pics in April of my car sitting on all black 20" Asanti wheels. Can't wait, will not even attempt to put them on till the roads are better around here, they are a mess.

 

springs are cheap enough where if sometime down the road such as when you need to change the struts you can just go with coils instead of replacing the struts

 

Not necessarily, there's a lot of adjustability on the rear shock, i could go higher than OEM height on it. The problem, at least with my version, is that the springs are too short.

But even then, maxed out, i'm at Eibach height... which is about a 1.4" drop.
