why do you need smaller springs? thats not going to help get you lower at all and your going to blow the struts. if you want to slam the car down the deal with your loss and get stances....only way your getting that low without building the ride height into the car which is the honest and true way to get low and keep your suspension geometry correct.

Smaller rear springs will lower the car, and there are no struts in the rear. You really should know what you're talking about before posting answers to technical questions.

im not sure but i think stance and bc rear shocks would be the same size but stance has shorter springs in the rear. yes i want shorter springs but wonder if the bc shocks will be able to be used with them.

shocks/struts, same difference.

And yes, smaller springs will lower the car, but you need stiffer and shorter ones, otherwise they'll just bottom out constantly.

yes, you can, and yes, you will be fine.

if you want your bc's to go lower, take out the locking rings.

Will, shocks and struts are not the same difference, come on man. If people are throwing info out there, they should at least attempt to make it accurate. That's all I'm saying.

So coilovers in general are rubbish when it comes to autocross? What kind of problems will you experience? I'm new to cars in general and def new to autocross (first race day is in 2 weeks)
