BC Sports Suspension Installed=(Drop) Lots of pics

Big Thanks to Modern Performance & Cory for getting these to me as promised, 4 days from time of order! The install was a breeze & the parts are very nice quality, I think it took me about 5 hours to install it all, clean everything & adjustments.
I love the fact that I can still go down 1" 1/4 of a inch in the front & 1" inch in the back, but I'm going to wait till it settles before I do anymore lowering. I'm also still messing with the damper settings, right now I have them set 2 out of 3 turns to the stiffer side & it don't give much. The 1 thing I did notice on the 1st drive, the rear of the car doesn't move or squat at all when getting on it. My car will be 3 years old next month so I got it a early present. But anyway here are the pics....


My little 1 helping!

The rears of these coilovers have a 1 - 25 turn adjustability

the fronts have 1 - 31 1/2 turns

What I've noticed from these is that the fronts can be adjusted to be far stiffer than the rears. Wish it was the other way around for DRAG purposes. But it still works well... I avg'd 2.2 60's on street tires, with the rear end on full hard and raised up 3 inches.
The drop is nice though; especially when you lose the little metal adjustable rings and those metal seating hats for the rear springs.

Yea I am going to drive it around a little & fine tune it, I dont want to lower anymore untill i get a chance to see if it clears the speed bumps around here!
