Ok. I have BC BR series coilovers, the problem I have is that the extenders for the rear are not long enough to reach inside the wheel well regardless of which way they are turned. So, either I'm missing something or I need longer extenders? I'm pretty slammed and only have about 2 inches from the fender lip to the edge of the tire. For those of you that are running the BC's what did you end up doing? If you have managed to somehow make them work for you please provide pics as to how. If not, then can someone please tell me where I might find the flex shaft material to make mine longer? I already talked to BC and they were of no help, I already have the extenders they sell with both ends so all I really need is a source to purchase the flex shaft and I can make my own. I have searched everywhere looking for it but cannot seem to find it, the hobby shops have it but its either to small or short, i tried weed-eater shafts and they are to big! Please help as it is a real PITA to reach under and behind the rear wheels to adjust! Thanks in advance!
 
How are these not long enough
Can we get a pic of your drop?

Thanks for the reply, I guess I was thinking more in the lines of running them into the back seat area rather than the trunk. Do you have any pics of exactly where you drilled your holes? And did you end up drilling from the inside or the outside? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
 
I just install these extenders in my M, and it is the best money spent to adjust the suspension quickly for road or track use!

Pics are not from my car. I can reach mine right through the wheels so I didnt bother with those. Maybe someone else here can help
 
I did not bother to install these. I set my setting for combo for my personal sweet spot of comfort and performance. Besides I can reach the knobs between the wheel spokes.

Personally, I'm not a fan of drilling new holes. If there are metal parts getting drilled, that may be a catalyst to future rust formation.
