Took out the front collars on the coilovers today. Here's how she sits ladies and gentlemen. I'll have better pics soon.

Scraping on everything, can't wait to bring that rear down a little more.

For anyone interested, here's a good picture of the stretch I'm running.

Command Center.

And for those who don't know what the collars are, here's a picture anyway. :P

Oh, and I got stuck trying to get into my driveway.

looks really good thinking of adding a spacer in the rear to make more flush ?

Hey bud do you have tint on your FR-S? If so what %'s & could you provide some pictures. Trying to see what would look best on my ride, trying to keep it classy looking w/o going to dark.

I appreciate it! As far as the tint goes, I don't know the actually %'s, all I know is it is "Florida Legal" since it came from the dealership.

Which would mean:
• Windshield - Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
• Front Side Windows - Must allow more than 28% of light in.
• Back Side Windows - Must allow more than 15% of light in.
• Rear Window - Must allow more than 15% of light in.

I hope that helps!

This is my first time ever dealing with coilovers, so I'm not entirely sure how accurate this is. But basically from what I realized is the locking collars are there to be able to adjust the height of your coilover without unbolting the bottom mount. Pretty much they locked the bottom mount into place of whatever height you wanted it at.

Since I'm trying to go as low as possible I just took the collars out so I could spin the bottom mount all the way up, whereas before the collars were leaving about a half inch gap.

Looking good brah !!!

stancypants · 05-16-2013, 05:21 PM

do you know how much lower do the extrem drops go im maxxed out on my bc's and i look just about as low as you were on your stock wheels before you removed the collars i plan on removing mine too when i get my lower Control arms

Vten · 05-16-2013, 05:27 PM

Extreme drop should be lower than the regular bc br . I have those bc br coilover. On the max drop upfront there's still gonna be at least 1 finger gap , but on the rear , on max drop it tucked tires about 2 fingers... I'm on 17s with stock tires .

I do have rear LCA and adjuatable Rear toe arm to match the camber 1.2 front and 1.7 rear and both 0 toe on front and rear .

Hope that helps ur Q's
