I called BC because they seemed already preloaded, they told me custom kits come from the factory with preload already adjusted and I shouldn't touch it. So I left it alone.

It's not a plastic liner/bottoming out noise. Definitely a metal clunk noise. I'll let y'all know how it goes today after the install.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

We adjusted the endlinks, they were colliding with the control arms. After adjustment, there is NO NOISE, and it rides smooth, and stiff as hell! Going lower tomorrow! Here's some good daytime pics of how it's standing right now!

That's great to hear. Is the back lower than the front and how much lower are you going to go?

Sweet, had the same setup on my lexus but they were 14kf/12kr. How do they ride? Smooth? You on stiffest setting?

I'm on 15 front, 15 rear for dampening. They go up to 30. The ride is great though, I love stiffer rides and it feels like a dream. If anything I wish it was a little harder, which it will be!

I'm pretty sure the rear is the same height as the front, but I can double check. And how much lower...well I'm going to keep going until I can't drive the roads I drive on a daily basis anymore. :P I'll probably bring it down another half inch tomorrow, and once camber arms come in, maybe another inch on top of that!

You should get rear spacers for the meantime until you get custom wheels. They'll make the rear tires poke out a little more and look better imo. Car looks great that low dude, good choice

I appreciate it, and I'm thinking of grabbing 25mm spacers for the front and rear!

25mm in the front will make the wheel stick out to even with the wheel well and probably not fit as low as you want to go: I'm basing that off this:

Post #11. just be wary. I'd for sure recommend it for the rear though!

i got the same box yesterday haha

"8k/8k" label with " 10/10 " written above in magic marker.

the EXTR i thought was "ext" for extenders. i was freaking out because i ordered extreme drops and the labels/manual didnt have any notification of extreme drop but reading in on this thread i noticed the " ext " is " EXTR "

are you maxed out all the way low?! i cant wait to dump this damn thing. keep us posted with pics when/if you order spacers:happy0180:

No where close to being maxed out low, haha. I have a LOT room left. I can probably go about 2-3 inches lower, in all honesty I feel like the frame will be touching at max low.

Although we did lower it another half inch today! Here's some pictures. Once again, click for HD quality.



Test fitting new wheels. :P


I'm not nearly low enough yet.


Another FRS on lowering springs.




Stock BRZ.


And lastly, the clearance to get into my driveway, so going lower!

You're crazy dude...I love it. When are you getting the spacers?
