Hmmm BC Coilovers?!

[byklin]

ok, sorry for the delay...

In the front I used an electronic caliper and set the threads at 2.5750 inches inbetween the rings.

Ohh ok gotcha. I'm gonna try and tackle the install this weekend

The rear perch was damn near at the length as it came from BC - I am going to remeasure for you this weekend but from my bench chicken scratch it looks .853 inch inside between the rings.

Thank you for the response I am trying to find the instructions online so I can see how the rear setup mounts.

Does anyone DD on these coilovers?

I am DD on these guys and they ride great, better than I expected.

hawkbox, that looks awesome.

Question. For the front are you guys adjusting the spring lock ring or the bottom shock lock ring to adjust height?

 

[byklin]

The reason is because I adjusted the bottom but the endlink won't reach the hole where it's supposed to go

Don't adjust the upper ring set in the front, that will mess with your spring preload, adjust the shock length. (Lower Ring)

Did you use the fr end links that came with the kit? if you are, did you unbolt the end links on both sides before trying to re-assemble? The links wont reach unless the swaybar is loose on both sides to move into place.

Hope that helps!

No wonder! You have to loosen both sides...! Thanks for the tip. I couldn't get it to reach at all before and ended up touching the spring length lol

Ok, so now that everyone have had their coils in for a bit, and they have settled have you or are you going to have to make adjustments to your camber or ride height?

If you are adjusting front camber, have you found a good way of adjusting the camber plates without removing the assembly or pulling the front suspension down?

I am looking for a good alternative to actually pulling the asembly down / tearing front end back appart.

I'll probably be messing with the camber next week when I get my wheels on so I'll let you know. I'm pretty sure you gotta take it apart tho it doesn't seem possible to adjust from the top

Yeah that is my fear also...let us know.

 

[byklin]

I can't imagine an alignment shop having to take off the front just to adjust alignment though...

 

[S550 Sema]

Well I didn't have to make any adjustments so I can't tell you guys if it's possible but here's how the car sits in the new wheels. Still have the perches in the rear and about a half inch of thread left up front
