BC Coils Specs and Questions

So how's it going? Are you BC coilovers set? I just received my BC's and was planning to install this weekend.

Car is settling rite now. Dropped 1.25 all around want to lower the front to 1.5. The suspension is a step in the rite direction. Love how quickly the car recovers when cornering, or hitting bumps. Rite now I'm 25 from soft front and 15 from soft rear.

That's pretty stiff. What springs are you running with them? Even with race tires I rarely get more than half way through the adjustment range, car gets too twitchy otherwise. But I also have 12K/10K springs and Hotchkis sway bars.

The only thing different with my coils is I went with the 230 spring in the rear. Were do you have your set at?

So the spring rate is 10K/8K? That would explain why you run the dampers a little higher. Typically I'm at 5 front 3 rear on the street for cruising and 10/8 for street performance. For the race tires this week I ran 12/10 with good results with temperatures in the 60's. When it is warmer you usually have to dial it up a bit as the fluid flows more readily.

^ Lowered the front to 15 matching my rear. Makes such a difference. You wouldn't think a few clicks would but it does. The car feels more comfy on the street. What are your spring rates? Considering trying 5 front 3 rear. Love the adjust-ability.

ChrisSlicks

My spring rates are 2K higher than the factory standard, 12K front, 10K rear. It's a really good spring rate for track and auto-x, but probably a little bit on the stiff side for street duty, hence why I run the dampers so soft on the street. So my 5/3 is probably equivalent to you setting yours to 11/9 as a ball park guess.
