Dropitlow

so i got the coilovers (by Megan) on last week.... after waiting till 155k miles to do new suspension i wish id have done this a lot sooner.

HOWEVER THE ONLY REASON IT WORKS WELL IS BECAUSE OF MY CUSTOM REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS. additional $400.00

my camber settings in the rear are .9 degrees factory spec is 1 if it were dropped 2 inches without the custom kit id looked stanced and handle for shit. if you like stance life dont talk to me. i wont like you.

Looks much better! This is how it should of came stock honestly. I have the BC's and couldn't go to low due to the bad camber in the rear.

i got a set of upper adjustable arms made specifically to correct the rear camber issue. I'm able to go as low as i want and still maintain proper geometry.

Oh yeah Wrench, well I am going to put a set of those Eibach Spring things on, and then whip your car...... Well, it won't touch your car cause you may as well have just built a custom car kit thing by the time you are all done with it. Looks good though, and probably drives even better.

because, you know...35 is pretty slow for an off ramp but then I did the extrapolation and holy shit 140 would be impressive!

Just ordered the BC Coilovers, Progress Rear Sway Bar, and Prothane Complet Kit. Any feedback on these products?

BC Racing is a good brand, I'm sure they'll be good.
Progress sway helped on my 3G for cornering.
Prothane...not a fan of going harsh on anything rubber but I'm not sure if that's what they do or just better handling.

If you don't have a means to adjust the rear camber you're going to have a bad time when you drop the car. My Factory camber bolts wouldn't even keep my rear suspension in spec with Factory components at factory height. If you run into issues shoot me a text or phone call.

I finally got my BC Racing Coilovers & Progress Competition Rear Anti-Sway Bar installed. I put the Anti-Sway Bar at the most aggressive setting and it makes a huge difference. You can really really feel the rear end tighten up. It almost feels like more power is in the rear end now. How long did it take your coil overs to settle? I keep adjusting because at an inch and a half from the top of the adjustment I was scraping. Now I’m at a half inch from the top and I’m good no scraping. But my rear seems to have settled more where it’s flush with the tire and the front is one finger from the tire. When it was scraping both front and rear were tucked. I’ll take picture when the weather clears up.
