BC Racing Coilovers Installed
First off I want to thank this fantastic community for the wealth of knowledge and DIY's. I also want to thank n3o for the wicked deal on some BC Racing coilovers he was selling through AZ's black market. My buddy and I knocked these out yesterday in a matter of 2hrs maybe even quicker. The ride comfort is amazing, feels like the stock suspension. Really happy with the way it turned out.... now I just need to get a nice set of rims. For the life of me I can't find my digital camera so sorry for the crappy camera phone pics.

Think I still need to lower the front just a bit. All 4 corners measure just about 25" from the ground to fender lip through the center of the wheels.

Not trying to bash you but if you wanted to drop only 1-1.5" (which looks from the pix) then why didnt you go with springs and save some $$$....
I would suggest go lower....

Coilovers are AMAZING!!! More amazing still is that you were able to do the whole job so quickly...took me like half a day...2 hours almost just to find the bolts hidden under the headrests inside the back seats

Thanks, wheels are next on my to do list.
Got such a great deal on these coilovers I couldn't pass them up. Paid less then a set of springs/shocks would cost new.
The back seat took me maybe 15mins to take out. I have been taking interior of cars apart for over 10 years doing car stereo installations.
And to everyone else that said go lower, I'm gonna. Plan on taking it down about another inch.
break out those wrenches and dial that bad body down another inch...make use of your coils bud

Everyone said go lower so I took it down about another inch. I dropped the rear a little more then the front to try and even the car out. Think I should lower the front a little more? Still can't find my camera so your gonna have to deal with shitty phone pics.

Looks great...
Put jack stands but you should be able to make adjustments with the tire on the car. I just figured that out after 5 years of having coilovers. LOL
Yeah, tough to match the front and the back...if you LOOK at the car it'll look even at the bottom but the front will have more wheel gap. I generally use the top of the tire to gauge front/rear being exactly the same.
