Hey all,

I installed a set of BC coilovers (BR type) this week and then had it professionally aligned, etc. It's been lowered to 350mm all round.

Camber on the rears is -3 on the left and -5 on the right??!! Even with camber pins they're still gonna be way negative, and uneven? Has anyone experienced this before or know how to fix it? At the moment I'm thinking of raising it a bit.

Also, to be honest I'm really not happy with the BC's. On the softest setting they are still really hard but have a lot of bounce in them. So I've turned them up to around half way but they are still really bouncy. I'm not quite sure how best to explain it, but when you drive it feels like you're bouncing up and down really quickly. Just a really rough feel, but the road is smooth and straight, no holes, etc.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

-5 and -3?!?!?! mine are only -1.15 on both sides with camber adjustment bolts even then there is still play to adjust it a bit top and bottom before the bolts pinch/grab when fully tightened but i figured -1.15 was fairly good as i did them myself on my drive so never asked for them to be adjusted on the alignment. i think i have mine on 27 clicks hard rear and 14 clicks hard front and a whiteline ARB on hardest at the rear, it is a bit harsh but nothing i can't handle, coilovers are supposed to be harder as they are aimed at the sort of market that want maximum grip opposed to comfort.
