PIC REQUEST: BC Coilovers on the Lowest setting
 
Anyone running their BC Coilovers on the lowest setting? Front and Rear, if so can you post pics? I've heard that BC's don't go as low. Just wanted to clarify.
Thanks,
- Neil

I've had them lowered beyond drivable and there was still room to go. No pics as it had to come back up...

The fronts go very low, the rear will depend on which spring length option you select.

So If I wanted to lower the car 1.5 or 1.75 what spring length should I go with? The rears I heard only go a little more than an inch.

You can lower the rear more than an inch. I would swear you can tuck in the rear wheels using the shorter springs. You should email the guys at bc, they're really knowledgeable.

And very helpful, I had an install question and they emailed me back within the hour. I was floored.

There is a little more than an inch of adjustment in the rear for the spring. I think the default spring is a 230 mm but I believe they also have a 210 mm. If you go that low though you are going to scrape on everything.

I think I have a pic in my progress thread which shows my car in a garage after i installed the springs. ITS LOW! You couldnt turn with my wheel setup. Its both not really drivable and completely not enjoyable. Dont bother unless its for the bling factor a a car show.

THis is what drivable low looks like with Semi aggressive offsets

With the wheel spacers I rubbed the inner plastic in the front not very enjoyable.

Thanks for all the input. I'll post pics when I install them. Redbull, can I get a current shot of your setup? (1.5 and 1.25)
Thanks,

redbull, tbox did you guys opt for the shorter springs? or did you go with the standard options that BC ships these coilovers out at?

10kg front and 8kg rear right?

standard length front and rear springs? I just ordered a set and it isn't too late to change if need be, please lmk ASAP Thanks.

I went with the 230mm springs in the rear. It was recommended to me by the vendor. If you plan on dumping your car go with 210 otherwise go with 230 the 210 has been known to be to short and If the car isn't lowered more then an inch in the rear the spring will pop in and out when the suspension fully extends. With the 230 spring you can dump or keep it under an inch.
