They are NOT all the way low still has at least 2' more to go down and the camber is not that bad.

Sorry but I didn't take any close up pics of the wheel gap.

Do these bind at all at low speeds? Give you that 'twang' sound?

mine do this odd bottoming out kind of thing when angling onto a very steep driveway and make a sound but other than that to the people who are asking up top.. I set my dampeners to the softest setting because the stiffness for me was getting uncomfortable for DDing and it feels like stock again!

Turn off your traction control and vsc when going up a curb the noise is most likely your tires. I thought I was scraping the bottom with a 2" drop on BC coilovers but had no problem backing out of a driveway. So i had a friend watch me ascend a curb and it was clearly the tires trying to turn.

Can anyone please tell me how much ride comfort is sacrificed on the BC Racing Coilovers? I ordered them for $899. They came in defective as it was inspected where I ordered it from. They have given me the option to switch brands, get a refund, or wait for the next shipment.

I do not want to sacrifice ride quality. A little bit is fine.

What spring rates do you think you're going to go with?

I don't know crap when it comes to springs and coilovers as I've never used them before. I think they said it would be 6k/6k. I have no idea what that means.

Easy to install and the car handles amazing.

I will be test fitting the wheels tomorrow and maybe re adjusting the suspension again.
