I purchased a set of BC BR's, they stated the kit was the "Extreme Low" however after lowering the vehicle on
18x9 +25
18x10 +25
w/ 35 series tires
There was still a small gap in the rear. I called BC in Florida and they stated that they're limited to how low the kit can go however if I wanted, I can order custom springs for the rear (just letting everybody know, doing this will cause you to pretty much have no preload)which can make the rim tuck underneath if wanted.

They already come preloaded don't they?!
The 203 are the front and the 178 are the rear. Make sure you preload them to about 5mm both front and rear.

hi all,
i'm having a hard time deciding if the BC BR coilover "regular" model vs the "extreme low kit". i'm hoping owners of either one can give their opinion on how high/low each model can go.
i'm looking for 1 finger to no gap drop. will the "regular" model be enough? or will the "extreme low kit" might be too much for that.
thanks!!!!!!

I'm running Swift 10kg f/r with the BC's and I think it is borderline too stiff for daily. My wife doesn't enjoy the ride anymore and even after I play around with the dampen settings, I can't get it comfy enough for her.
For me, I find it to be what I was looking for with the exception of low speed ride quality. At low speeds, the ride is too stiff, specially over uneven pavement but that is going to happen with any increase over stiffness.
I
What I was wondering is if anyone has tried softer spring rates in the front w/ stiffer FSB. I want to increase ride quality while maintaining turn-in and still be stiff enough for spirited driving. Thinking 9kg/10kg f/r. or even 8kg/10kg f/r with eibach or equivalent FSB. Anyone?

Iam after a nice road setting. The car won't get used on track and iam on oem 17s (2006 car). I also want the car nice and stable at the rear. What spring rates should I order with my bc coilovers?
