BC Coilovers Ride Height
 
Experts...I've just finished installing a set of BC BR coilovers F/R (10kg/m^2 / 8kg/m^2) and Hotchkis sways :yum:. I'm trying to get an idea of what folks are running for front and rear drop from stock? I got it set about 1 1/8" on fronts now and am toying with the idea of another 3/8" in the fronts. Any thoughts? Appreciate the feedback. I can toss up some pics if folks are interested.

I have BC ER series but I usually adjust the height by measuring from the center of the wheel to fender lip/plus visually look at it.

Thanks...thats what I did to arrive at the numbers. Looks pretty good, no rubbing, etc. Just wondering if I could go lower...

How much wheel gap do you have now.

My car has no wheel gap now at all however I just had to buy ramps to get into my garage as I badly banged an exhaust flange pulling in last night (my garage step up is like 2.5-3") when my rear tires were in and my front was dropped down. I didn't experiment with pulling it in front first but it used to rub the air dam at stock height so I can't imagine it wouldn't be 10x worse now.

Good news is it almost never rubs when I drive it and I have the rear pretty soft but the front pretty firm.
