How can I go lower?
Hey guys. So I'm looking to drop my front a little more than what my stock bc racing br coilover setup is giving at the moment. For those of you that are knowledgable with the subject, what is the best route I can take? I am thinking I can change the springs on my coilovers, but to which ones? Would I just have to contact bc racing for a shorter spring set?

Shorter springs won't help if you're almost (or are) riding the bump stops.

I think the Ground Control top mount gives you and extra inch of travel.
So maybe you could mount your coilovers to them and still have some real suspension left? Dunno but worth checking into. http://www.ground-control-store.com/.../II=926/CA=193 |

to OP: just get on an air suspension. That's how you'll go lower. |
