BC Coilovers Info & Unboxing (03-08 FX35/FX45)

:cool: Happy it all worked out. Suspension, brakes, wheels, tires these are all very very vital things to safety. You have a lot riding on all of these.
 
I havent yet i need to bring the rear down n maybe a little on the front.but w the 22'sdo not need to be extremely low to get rid of the wheel gap. But as far as ride all of that bouncy ness in the rear is gone.
 
8 clicks from soft is way too soft for me, I prefer 8-10 clicks from hard. After running eibachs for years I guess I am use to it. Right now I am running 16 in the fronts and 12 from hard in the rears.
 
one disadvantage of bc coilovers.....

Smashed my lower brace on a dip in the freeway, smashed it enough that it's now hitting my exhaust pipe.

GTSPEC welds are strong though.
 
Come one man, that's not a disadvantage of the BC's. That's a disadvantage of slamming your car. My little bro has a dumped integra on coilovers and he's always scraping up the underside of his ride on everything from speed bumps to freeway humps.
The lack of quality control (sending a bunk shock to the very first and possibly the most most outspoken FX customer)... Now THAT is a disadvantage of the BC's. :laugh:
 
Im not that low yet but something to look out for. I just wanted to see how it would handle with four people first. I carpool and i drive once a week with everyone so far soo good i definetly need to stiffen up from 8 clicks from soft but its all trial n error right now.
 
That's a drag, have to find that sweet spot as you don't want to give up the rear lower brace. You were already running stiff though correct?
 
I am currently running 16 from hard in the fronts and 12 from hard in the rears. I might stiffen it up to 12 hard front and 9 hard rear.. From factory they were at 8 from hard all around and that was pretty similar to eibachs....maybe a tad stiffer. I will probably just leave the brace on, unless it starts rattling against my exhaust piping.
 
that brace being bent like that could possibly affect your alignment, probably pushing the 2 points slightly further apart now. even a small difference there will affect alignment & increase toe-out. that gt spec bar does hang pretty low though, guess that's one way to solve that :tongue:
