Yes they are 17's. I'm not sure an exact measurement on how low I am but there is no wheel gap up front and just a little in the rear. I'd say maybe 2.5in in the front and 2in in the rear.

I have not installed LCA's yet. Where it sits right now it doesn't appear to have affected the camber in the rear much at all. As far as ride quality I think the FR-S is pretty stiff on stock suspension and now with the coils on a lower stiffness setting it really doesn't feel to far from stock.

Here is a another photo of it from an event this weekend.

how are you guys getting in and out of driveways that low? i'm down about 1.3" all around and with the reduced shock travel on the coilovers i end up 3 wheelin it on majority of the driveways i encounter.

g0lden · 07-02-2013, 03:45 AM

I installed my Invidia N1 and my BC's at the same time. I first had the car set really low, and I was scraping my NEW exhaust on everything. I ended up raising it since I didn't want to trash it.
I wish i could get the exhaust piping tucked a little further up inside.

As for stiffness. I turned the knobs all the way towards the "soft" arrow. Then I dialed them up 8 clicks towards "stiff".

Hey guys I have my BC Extreme Lows on now and I am rubbing in the front. I don't wanna add anymore camber since im trying to get as much flush I can achieve! Is adding more camber the only way to prevent the rubbing? I know where I rub at and that its rubbing the fender lining but already put a hole thru it, ahaha. Thinking of raising it just a couple MM and then getting as little camber I can in the fronts so I can tuck and be as close to the fender as possible!

Are you on stock wheels? If not, what are your wheel and tire specs?

Crazy Drew · 04-04-2014, 05:53 PM

If you want to be that low fender liners have to come out.

SMOKETREES · 04-05-2014, 07:22 PM

I have 18x8.75 all round. Rears are good but the fronts due rub in the fender liners which I'm deciding if I wanna take em out or just raise her up a couple cm's.
