and ashley yes you answered my question right ... and i figured that but some guy at a shop was confusing me so bad i just hung up ...


my main concern is the rear rubber spring mount perch ...


im doing the coils in the morning in my garage ;-) is it time for a progression thread soon lol .. and yes i will tease you all but not like janik did
I remember there being a flat rubber cushion right above the adjustment collars on the BC. Open up the box and take a look. On Tein, Stance (LX) and a few others, the opening on the adjustment collar is large which allows the OEM pillow mount to fit inside and up against it. On the BCs, IIRC, it's closed.

PM me when you're doing the install if you want and I can help if you have questions...or I can give you my number.

There's the rubber cushion I was talking about. The adjustment collar (and smaller part of the spring) goes up top. You will be resusing your lower spring cushion thingy...I always forget what the parts are really called

The adjuster goes on top in place of the oem spring mount. The rubber that is included goes between the BC spring mount and the frame of the car. The hole on the BC mount will line up with the 3 prongs right inside just like the oem mount.

Keep the bottom oem rubber piece on the bc spring so the spring isnt just sitting in the spring bucket metal to metal

Yep, that's right. I will be a tight fit because I know you are going to want to dump it It's easier to lower a car than it is to raise it after its in place and bolted up.

lol you already know me ... yea when i was looking at it when you said the adjuster goes on top i was thinking hen i did my springs on my car now there wasn't a lot of room im trying to think .. i want to set it up with it off my car and kinda get it to a close even drop on both sides so i dont have to do a lot of adjusting any opinions on that ... i want like a 3'' in the rear .. where should it be at ??

another thing about the damper setting of 32 different ways .. for those who have bc or had whats a decent damper setting for DD

I normally just take it back out of the bucket to adjust it. But that's only cause i have a couple jacks and have figured out how to get the bolt that holds the bucket to the knuckle out pretty quick without having to wrench it out.

But like Chris said, it's easier to go lower than to raise it. I'd just start out with about 5 threads from slammed. Then you'll know you're a little less than a 3" drop.

If you want it at a 3" drop all around, then go all the way down. IIRC, Marcus said he's all the way down in the rear and its about a 3" drop. Just make sure you adjust the shocks the same.

The springs will settle too but not much. I'd do the same and Grant suggested...5 threads from totally dumpaged

You don't have a premium package G I take it?
