They possibly could be Blain. I know someone else was complaining about not being able to get low enough on BCs with the 12K/10K setup. I wonder if the springs themselves are longer and that's the issue.

Hmm, BC is the problem here. They seem to add dead coils to add spring weight which in the end decreases how low they go. Not the way to do it.

Buy some HSDs or Stance, wish people would listen to me when I tell them that.

2 hours of adjusting it and measure from the bottom of your sideskirt towards the back and not your fender to make sure the widebody is the same length.

While jacking up the rear, I needed to run over two pieces of wood. This pushed the wheel upwards enough to match how the driver side usually sits. And it cambered just as much as how the driver side is when at that height.

So I think the issue is just the uneven height + the natural camber with it.

Agreed. But seeing a couple cars that were low on BC's made me think these could go pretty low as well.

All I can do now is figure out why my ride height is not even.

well shiiii.

that nut that secures the 17mm bolt, which you remove to lower the spring bucket is stripped.

its on the axle side so I can't get a socket in there. (at least my sockets, since they're not the shortest ones)

I'm having that issue with my fronts. I'm maxed out on threads so the only way I could go lower was to lower the spring. And I'm on 12/10. It seems no one running 10/8 is having this issue.

My next set will be Stance. I don't want to run into this issue with height adjusting again.
