Question BC Coilovers Settings

I'm looking to install my BC Coilovers soon and I was wondering what settings to use.

I was advised to go with 15 for dampening, which I believe is the middle setting.

What height/dampening settings are you guys running? I don't want to install them and then have to readjust them!

I'll also be installing my Strut Bar & Sway Bars at the same time!

Thanks!


Installation prices and suggestions are also appreciated. How much did you guys pay to install them?

Edit:

Height - 1 finger gap all around?
Dampening - 13-15 all around?

I have a rear camber kit as well but I've heard from many people that all they needed was the actual arms. Are the toe bolts not needed? I'd rather not enlarge and drill-out the stock holes if I don't have to.

Thanks again for the info and sorry to hear you got rid of them... A lot of people have called BC to have their springs swapped to a different size... You should have called BC before selling them..

What's done is done and now you should purchase another set of coilovers! haha

The fronts can be raised beyond stock "S" height, the rears will depend on which springs you get.

I'll be installing the coilovers soon but I'm still not sure how much to drop it...

I'm looking for the right drop in NY. How much does it settle after being installed?

Thanks

Mine never settled height-wise.

Since it's adjustable, go for a moderate drop first. Once you get the hang of it, judge how it works with your local road conditions and drop or lift as needed.
