Another Lowering on Coils Thread

[91parkave]

so you have full strut travel... But your maxed out for loweness?? What about running a shorter spring? could that not get the car lower, but loose some of your strut travel?

Any lower and your subframe will become the next pavment grader.

the key is finding the correct length, and these are adjustable from the bottom for height so they are always in full travel of the strut

The other thing would be a useable spring rate/dampening. From what I could find, BC ES coilovers come with 7kg/mm springs up front so about 392lb/in which would work well. Although, I know BC can do custom spring rate/valving.

i can tuck over 1.5" of tire, why would i need to go that low, it can near lay unibody

I started out with 400# springs and wanted stiffer, I went to 500# and like how it rides now. It helped a lot with not bottoming out.

I'm 400lbs up front on a heavier car (95 Bonnie) and it's perfect IMO.

Coming from a guy who had a bagged grand prix...

I just wanna go as low as possible on static... Lower than the **** you can buy off the shelves, if not, i'll just make my own coils, and deal with them being maxed out.

need to tuck all the tire on 18s.

and realistically, everyone i know with BC's (or similar style JDM coils) just droops the springs and doesn't care. they live and function awesome still for some reason.
