Just ordered my BC racing BR coilovers researched throughly about multiple coilovers, and struts and springs... Decided to go with the BC BR coilovers because they seemed to to have 0 negative reviews compaired to the megans.... Im pretty stoked about the install... Going to post some photos of install and a detailed review after the install...

Also if anyone has these I think im going to put them on full soft... And a 1.75 drop does that seem like a good setup...??

Install will be hopefully this weekend ... biggrin.gif

Its been 3 weeks now since i ordered these and have not come in yet

is that the ride height right out of the box? im thinking about grabbing a set in about a month or so smile.gif



It is not right out of the box... they are packaged way to low... as in they won't even work that low... only the fronts if i remember right... But you can adjust them a lot more lower than i have... you could probably slam it with them if you wanted to

You must have roads flat as glass smile.gif . I have on my BCs height like this and suffer as hell in CZ:







can you see scratched splitters? or how is under-panel scratched? When changing tires next months I will raise it for half and inch for sure. I have learned like this it is not drivable on 25% of roads here kindasad.gif

When was brand new I used 64.5cm (25.4inch) rear and 61.5cm (24.2inch) front. But after 1000-2000miles it "settled down" for sure (I touch everything around more than before smile.gif). Do not know how much because I have not measured it yet. This will happen in few weeks when I will raise it. Than let you know how much they dropped them selves.

This will be plug and play on a GT or ST chassis.
If its a ST205, or any other variant that uses the super strut suspension, there will be some cutting and welding required.

EDIT: I see you've got a convertible. This should fit no problem.
