No weird sounds or clunks... The suspension is a little stiff w/10k springs but not too bad. I wanna wait till the springs settle and I get wheels before I align it as I will prolly go lower once I get wheels. I'm planning on 18s

got the same coils but am debating if i should wait til i get some LCAs and toe adjustment or if i should slap the coils on...do you have anything else besides the coils? lcas?toe arms?

I got the same kit but didnt receive any instructions. I've done a few coilover installs before so i understand how to put them in. Only thing that im a little confused on is how to install the end links? Do i just put them in and tighten them or do they have to be at a certain length?

any updates, how are you liking them ?

I have the same BC racing coilovers. They have been nothing but awesome!
I however had to raise them up. I tried riding on them that low and that just made life very difficult. Plus, I didn't want to damage my precious. I'd recommend adjusting up a little or you will have a very difficult time getting around.

I installed the Invidia N1 at the same time, and the flange between the front and mid pipe hangs a little low (Could be cut out and welded for more clearance).

I'd like to know what settings you have the knobs turned to?
I turned them all the way soft, then dialed them up 8 clicks front and back. Other than that, I haven't experimented much.

Before I started I measures the distance between LCA and the endlink. Than I adjusted the BC endlinks to get the swaybar in the same position(or as close to)

If you have already done the install. Just try to keep a good distance between the swaybar and the LCA

Everything is stock aside from the coilovers. I do plan to get LCAs and align as soon as I get wheels. From what I've read, you don't need toe arms unless you run crazy camber. But it is easier to adjust toe w/ the arms.

To answer both questions:
The ride is actually very comfortable and handles quite well! However I did have a problem when I first installed them as they were set to full stuff and the seemed very bouncy. I currently have the damper set to full soft but I plan to play w/ the adjust a little. But to me full hard is just not a comfortable ride.

And as far as the height. I actually wanted to go a little lower. My previous car(s2000) was a lot lower than this and I had no issues. I appreciate the heads up tho. I read many of the aftermarket exhaust hang quite low so I'll keep that in mind when I purchase one!

What about the damper adjustment extenders in the rear, did you install them? If so, where did you put them? I want quick rear adjustment like the front

I did install the extenders in the rear and the adjustment is just as easy as the front. But you do have to make a hole in th e trunk liner...

[ShikoBariki]

Do you have LCAs or toe arms to adjust camber and toes or straight coils? How much spacing from the lower perch to the height adjustment did you have?

I just have the coils for now. As far as space I have about an inch left both front and rear. But I believe both stance(and a few other) LCAs have 30mm bends in them allowing ~one more inch of height adjustment.
