BC Coilover settings you guys guys ride on
 
Hey guys!
I did a search and it brings up so much stuff BC related, but doesn't quite hit what i'm looking for.
I recently installed the BC Extreme Low coilovers 8k, and have them set at 8 out of thirty. What do you guys have them adjusted to and consider to be a good street setup, and good track setup?

Thanks
Dawud

Well I'm on extreme drop as well But I got 10k springs all around I set my dampening to 20 10 from being max hard I didn't touch the pre load or did any height adjustments just put them on right out of the box and tightened the locking collars and as far as my ride I only drive it on the streets not going to track the car and I say It's a really good street set up and very comfortable ride for me well thats my opinion since I prefer a stiffer ride.

Here are a few pictures of how it sits.

Thats pretty much how my car sat when i installed straight out of the box as well. I raised it some, then a week later I raised it some more lOL.
I was to scared to damage something below

I'll play with the settings some more and see how your settings feel on 8k springs

Thanks

are your guys coils completley maxxed? I'm on the regular spec bcracing coils and I'm trying to find a way to get my front a bit lower. on the stiffest setting as well.

here's my rear fitment as of today. i forgot to take pictures after we finished up working on the front. i'm having some clearancing issues even after having some major fender/bumper work done all around. @SLICVIC Do you have any issues with turning and rubbing? Maybe I need to run smaller spacers haha but its still a work in progress.

I think you're missing a few periods in your paragraph.

But nice ride

@nab335 yeah i cant turn full lock haha. being that these cars are "born" and "designed" to drift and what not, im surprised with the clearance issues going full lock.

ps: your rear is sitting niiiiiiiice. My fronts are completely maxed out, all lockrings removed, Gonna try to increase the pre-load to get some more threads for more Lowz BUT im worried with more preload will it make the spring stiffer thus raising the front? i wanna drop it 1/4 inch or so , so im definitely not cutting/ordering shorter springs just for that little of a drop lol

thanks man. my fronts are looking pretty even too after adding some more camber and adjusting the rear a bit higher. i'll post up some pics soon. i'm just gotta go with your suggestion on those megan toe links to fine tune everything but i just had some stance LCAs put on which seemed to drop the car by a ton. and same here my front lock rings are out. by the way i saw your post saying that you just dropped a pretty penny on some rims. what'd you get? lol its probably gonna be crazy
