BC Coilovers

Had to do it. Gotta say, the ride really isn't that bad.

That looks damn good ghozt. Can't wait until my d2 coils get here. Did you install them yourself? If so how difficult was it to adjust them?

Yeah, install wasn't too bad - although BC's instructions are terrible. Ended up finding a G37 install thread and poked through that to get familiar first. Adjusting is kind of a pain cause the spanner wrenches slip off the rings a lot but overall wasn't too bad. I'm set to halfway between soft/hard on both front and rear and the ride quality is pretty straight. Handling is amazing, and I'm in love with the look.

I thought something looked different in your latest pic, looks great.
So what are your plans for heavy snow fall during the winter...?

I'll just raise it back up to Eibach height.

No, but I also haven't had the camber fixed yet so I'll find out when I get the bolts/control arms installed and get my alignment. My boy is ready to do the fenders for $75 if I need so if so, no biggie.

I thought the same thing. I saw the car on another thread, & was about to send him a PM to ask if he had gotten coilovers. The front was noticeably lower than before.


Ghozt, it looks great bro!

The bug is biting again... Heh.

Looks great, Ghost! Glad to hear the ride quality isn't so bad. What spring rates did you go with?

Thanks everyone! I feel like this "brings together" my whole theme perfectly.

I'm halfway on both the front/rear. I may stiffen it up just a little bit. One note is it definitely is not as smooth as Eibachs, you DO feel the road more (and so will your girl haha) but it just isn't as bone-jarring as I was expecting.

Bumpier cause you gotta keep it pretty stiff, if you leave it too soft you bounce all over the place it's weird. Be nice if you could control the rebound. I take speed bumps like a bo$$ now at crazy angles holding up everyone behind me. #lowlife
