I think theres about 3-4 or less tC owners that have BC Coils. Probably should make a thread just for BC coils haha.

Heres a picture from angled view after I was pleased with the height

Haha sorry man but I have no intentions of slamming my coils but I know for sure they can go as low as B&Gs or possibly lower. The first time I lowered my car with BCs, I drove my car for like 10 seconds and both of my wheels were constantly rubbing on the fender haha. I know there are a few people on this forum that have BC Coils so you might want to snoop around

. Also meng just posted these coils on their site. I think if you are a facebook fan, you get free shipping with these coils.

We need someone to go ahead and just slam them as low as they go so we have an idea of how low they do go. Not that you have to drive it that way, just show us.

nice coils. i've been thinking of changing out my SSP for BCs or F2s.

once the coilovers are installed, how do you adjust height without affecting spring preload? do you turn the very bottom collar?

I was going to get F2s but I thought I would try something different. I've heard a few tC owners who have the SSP are not really satisfied because I assume that when they adjust the height, they mess with the pre-load. One of the greatest things about BC and F2s are that they have independent height adjustment. Once the BC are installed, you loosen the very bottom ring and then you are able to adjust the ride height from there. You never want to loosen the 2nd ring sice that's what keeps the spring rates. The picture that DJ08TC posted is right on the money for adjusting the ride height. Thanks for posting the picture!

Thanks 05! It was a freaking hassle to adjust as well as finding the perfect height.

Are you referring to DJ08TC?

My spring rates are pre-set from BC, 8k and 10k. If you are comparing to the TRD spring rates, those are wimpy compared to BC haha.
