Finally BCs are installed. wow it's too low.

I have to make some adjustments tomorrow. Right now it's as low as it will go the fronts. the rears can still go lower It was quite a project b/c it's so freaking hot. I couldn't find a tape measure so I couldn't measure. Can someone give me some numbers to shoot for. I found some people are about 13.5 inches from center of wheel to fender. It took some time b/c it was hard to elongate the bolt holes for the new toe bolts that came with the spc camber kit. I only put the camber kit in the rear. I was told i don't need it in the front

here are the pics. sorry it got late. I m old. 39













I can't wedge my finger between the fender the tire. My wheels will be done in a week but I will be out of town so I won't be able to install them for 2 weeks.

That's the beauty of having coils - you can always adjust that height besides the firmness - just too pooped to get back under the lift tonight eh?

What's the height from the ground to the top middle of the fender - like 26"? 24" is slammed and then some. 25" - 26" is pretty low but manageable.



When I dropped low, I also took off my mudguards and splashguards. Sedan looks much better without them besides.

I think it looks good... You minimized the wheel gap and not tucking... Thats what I was shooting for when i put my coils on... I'm still on stock 17's but I may go lowere when I get some wheels...

I'd like to mention that my ride is comfy and I don't scrape on anything (but I do try to avoid speed bumps at all times if possible)...

Looks sick, you need front camber kit more then the rears. With no front kit your tires won't last to long if you drive alot and i would get front and rear camber kit asap.

I know I need some front camber kit. I just hope I don't have to drill anything in the front. I still have some metal shavings in my head.

Looks good, also the Rx7 is beautiful. I see the Miami Dolphins sign are you local? Must be nice to have a lift in your garage.
