lower

 

i think the camber plates need to be swapped. if i remember correctly my camber plates matched the strut...but mine look as pictured above

 

Now I see y ppl on here get mad all the time. Ppl don't read! Swap the plates! It doesn't matter if the"stickers match".

 

this is the first time i've seen that BC is known for having the camber plates on the wrong side...dont get hype

 

I'm not sure about older c/os either, but u said they ned to be switched, then said this us th e first u heard of it. It seems as tho all the recently purchased c/o have this issue. Read thus thread again.

 

what is it with you and thus....

btw i've already read this thread and this thread has come up two months after i installed my coilovers. had i read this thread prior to, i would have done it before install. in the threads about the reviews of coilovers this was never mentioned as far as BC went and if it was in another thread either i never read the thread or just over looked that post in that thread. either way, if this thread came before my install, i wouldnt be a statistic

 

Ya stupid phone.I'm just trying to help anyone else out. sorry, boi.

 

Yup, looks like they are on wrong according to my stocks that I'm comparing them to. I'm not sure bout everybody else, but the bigger angle looks like it's suppose to be on the outside from looking at the stocks.

 

i'd like to see a pic of how they look when the camber plates are on correct off and on (installed)

 

Here they are off the car, just swapped them. Hopefully by the weekend I'll have them on.

 

GL...even w/ my camber plates wrong () i love em

 

I was having this problem and could not figure out what was wrong and why it wouldn't fit correctly. Thanks.

 

Here are the camber plates installed! Sorry for the fstb bracket blocking.

 

^that is how they are supposed to be. Thats how my ksports look.

 

Good deal, then they are suppose to be swapped from manufacturer.

 

Cool, how you like the ride?

Anyone adjusted their preload to the 5mm recommended by BC?

 

The ride is great, Have the dampening at 15. I tried the preload thing but not sure if I did it right. Everything is on point though for each side. Going to do the rears this week, had to battle the rain on the weekend.

 

damn i gota order me a set . looks real good !

 

How much are these shipped?

 

I can get them for a better deal than the group deal on here. Just PM for the info. Company is located in FL too.

 

Yeah I definitely think I want to get a set of these within 6 mos. Still on my OE struts @96K haven't done any mods but it seems logical to make that the first one, I'm sure by then I will need to do the rears and I would rather spend a little extra to get something customizable. I really like the height OP is at, never been a fan of totally dropping a car but that looks just about perfect.

Has anyone put chains on their tires with these or any coilover? Is that even feasible?

 

Cool where in Florida are they?

 

*needs to tighten up and get a wrench so he can pull off his coilovers and swap the camber plates*

 

I also would like to know were in Fl are these cheaper.

Just you guys know, BC Racing confirmed that the camber plates are wrong coming out of the factory, lucky for the future owners of the coilovers, the problem has been fixed. Not that it was a mission to swap them.

 

Damn!! Guess i gotta get another alignment once i swap the plates right?...

 

One of the reasons I'm going lower..... ride is a lil bit too smooth, I don't like my ride height much, I might be going as low as your sig....... and then on 16's

 

DAMN!!!!

DAMN!!!!

 

Yup, DAMN! is the right word. Gotta swap em.

 

LOL fukin BC fukin up

 

Did my swap today and noticed an instant difference. Before they were swapped I felt every bump on the road and the ride was overall horrible, now it's a lot better. By the way I did adjust dampening many times to fit my comfort but now I didn't need to and it feels a lot better plus alignment of course.

 

I swapped my plates, now the ride feels better than stock... I set the front to 7 n the rear 10... beautiful!!

 

when I do my suspension, I'm def going to consider these. I need to start saving up!

 

Hey all. So I got BC 's on my A33 I30. They were installed by my mechanic. After seeing this post I found that my camber plates are at an Angle as well. The FL is on the drivers side and the L camber plate is on drivers side too. The right side matches too. My car was aligned right after install.
Did those of you with this problem ever get it all fixed.
Do the camber slots indeed need to run straight left right?
Can you guys confirm this for me?
Thanks

 

seems like you answered all your questions...IJS

 

Ha yeah I guess I did. So I emailed bc about this issue. This is their response.

The person doing alignments should have realized this and dialed it in appropriate at thr time or he should have mentioned there was a issue with dialing in. You shouldn't have a issue if the person didn't mention this. There is a faster and easier way than what Kerry pointed out. If you raise the front on jackstands (both sides) you can loosen the upper strut bolts on the tower on both sides. Once the top of the strut is dropped you can remove the camber plate by loosening the 4 Allen key bolts. Swap side and raise the suspension back in the tower with a jack under the strut. It should take about 5-10 min per corner. It will almost take more time to jack the car up on stands. Let us know if you have any questions.

Has anyone tried swapping them like described above?
Shouldnt BC own up to their mistakes and help us customers out with this issue?

 

They already know about that mistake, I emailed them and told them about the camber issue a couple of months ago, If they haven't fixed the issue by now, shame on them.

 

ahh shiet! i was thinking of pulling the whole coilover and just swapping sides, but yes this seems smart lol

but they supposedly have fixed this in house and the new ones they are sending out are supposedly corrected.

 

I just ordered my BCR's last week and got them on Monday. Didnt have this issue with the camber plates. Already installed them and it sits horizontally instead of diagonally.
