BC coilover installation
BC coilover installation
here you go guys. took me 5.5 hrs to do. all that needs left is to lower it back down and see where i am sitting. thinking im a little to low but we'll see
got the rotor, brake and all the other good stuff out. i shouldve replaced the bearings but itll have to wait till maybe next time. still really good condition also so i didnt see why i had to
got the fronts in
here are the rears
couldnt even get the RS*R fromt he fronts. thats how old they are. these are the rear
here is what was in the rear. they were really bad cause i can push them down without even using any effort
well, its late so ill end it like this and get more photos of it after droppong it down and seeing where im at on the height.
oh yeah, gotta get a alignment done also

Re: BC coilover installation
It's noticeably lower. What should be even more noticeable is from the driver's seat: the ride should feel more precise and purposeful.
Re: BC coilover installation

Re: BC coilover installation
Well, got the alignment done and yes, the car feel so m7ch better. Had it a bit to hard though and got the suspension back to how they were before I replaced them. Took it to one of my spots and it feels so nice. Could be a little more stiff but that'll have to wait till tomorrow's event/open drift day.

Re: BC coilover installation
also, keep in mind that when it settles, it'll prolly get a tad lower too. and it also will get stiffer!

Re: BC coilover installation
well, the car runs so freakin good. took a while to get it tuned in on the suspension but when i finally got it to where i liked it. was tearing it up this weekend until i ran out of ties. ill try and get the videos up but i didnt get any good ones of me. had the gopro on the wrong settings twice so no good on the gopro. ill still probably post up what i can of the gopro though. hopefully someone else got some good vids of me though.
