^Darrick and I found out the hard way

Marcus....my wife use to drive my car too....now, she won't even back it down the driveway lol

 

Yeah when reading through it I realized it was pretty worthless. I saw that thread debating how to install the rear, mine are installed correctly.

 

Thanks man. I looked up the SPL front arms...those suckers are expensive. Looks like I'll be running some negative camber up front for a while. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll definitely save up and get those so I won't have to change them (and end up spending more) down the road.

 

hey marcus, i picked up the bcs from josh as well. he took really good care of me, but i got the spc rear camber kit from another vendor that beat the combo. but... maybe we can get spl front arms together save money! woot!

 

stiffer is always good Marcus, love the freeway exits and tight turns trying to beat the yellow before redlights on a left or right turn. Other than that it seems like everyone loves their BC Coilover suspension. I'm stuck with these Buddy Club Racing Spec Damper coilover suspension. The only thing is the rears have spring on Damper not like BC where you have them seperated.

My girl is able to drive my G, just gotta trust them and teach them

 

Looks like the buddy club you have are a true coilover setup. The ones Marcus got are a OEM style (seperate sprint and shock). Aside from the spring rates, the difference in some of these coilovers are a mono-tube design vs a steel dual tube (or whatever it's called...I forget).

IIRC BC are a mono tube which is a better built shock.

Don't mean to muck up your thread Marcus but just wanted to clarify that I wasn't trying to bash SPC front A-arms but from my own experience and from other members I've seen on this board with the same issue, if you run your G with a more aggressive drop, the front arms have been known to knock over certain bumps.

The rear SPC camber kits have no issues at all.

 

nothing wrong with negative camber bro... youre gonna need some anyway if you want to run decent offsets with your current ride height

be prepared to buy tires too... my negative camber is the reason why im on my 18s right now

 

negative camber is good if you can adjust how much negative you want it
my rears were -3.0 on one side and -1.0 on the other.

 

I was already running like -2.5 up front and -2.1 or so in the rear. I always got even wear straight across in the rear tires though. The way I drive I go through rear tires pretty quickly, the fronts last twice as long.

 

No worries Chris, thanks for the info!

 

wow! and your old setup wasn't as low as mine, but they gave you more negative than i thought. if you keep your current settings, you should be able to run offsets somewhere in the low-mid 20s all around

 

That's because I didn't have my fenders rolled, so they didn't correct for the negative camber during my alignment, it would have caused me to rub. Should have rolled my fenders a long time ago!

 

^ - oh.... that's right! i remember that now...

 

3rd pic is on the money!!

 

i have bc coilovers too. do you have a problem with that clunking noise in the rear when you go over an uneven part of the road? im slammed too but you look lower how many inchs are you lowered all around. im maxed in the rear and if i remember i did 3½ upfront. car looks great
