Thanks! The front was fine and can go much lower but the rear had both perches removed and is completely maxed out. However we found out that my coil overs accidentally had a 150mm spring instead of the 140mm so they gave me the springs and I just haven't gotten around to installing them yet but then I can put a collar back in and not droop as much at the same height I'm at now

I see. I just got mine and was just trying to figure out where to start with them. I have one perch off of my current set but since they all differ trying to decide so I don't have to take them off again. Where did you get your shorter springs from?

I actually got the shorter spring from B&G. I live like 5 minutes from them so just went and picked it up. They were really cool about it and gave me the springs for free

I'll have to look and see what mine have because the person I got them from said they had "20008" stamped on them so I hope they're not 200mm, that doesn't make sense.

I'll double check the springs in the garage when I get home and let you know. I doubt they are 200mm. You wouldn't get very low with those on haha

Without a good amount of pre-load. I doubt they're 200mm either, I just haven't unwrapped them. If so might be a good reason to make the trek from Orange County to an AutoFashion meet and pick up some springs from B&G.

Haven't checked yet, the springs are at my boyfriends house in his garage but Ill check when I'm over there next but I would unwrap them and check. There was a series of the coil overs that got the 150mm spring on accident so its possible yours could have them.

If you come down to an Autofashion meet let me know. I'm at almost all of their Waddup Wednesday meets

trdscion, which version of b&g did you get? First one had 200mm springs up front and 2nd had 180mm. Rear has always been 150mm. I was trying to get shorter springs from b&g when I had them 2 years ago and was told 150mm is the shortest they can do. I ended up getting 140mm 10kg/mm springs from BC and swapping b&g rear 150mm springs up front.

I got them yesterday and haven't been able to look at them. They were toeveryhour's so I don't really think I have to worry since she was really low.

I'm going to take a look at them today so we'll see I guess.

You'll be fine. Mine were the same as hers, factory B&G specs or whatever. You can have the front at rim and the rear tucking rim by removing perch rings. I also modified the top hat. Devon (Iheartzombies) showed me that you can take the top mount of, basically flip the positing of the washer and it gives you another 1/2" or 1/4" of a shorter coilover up front. Any little bit matters when you're that low.

Well I guess they're the first version. 200mm 6Kg front but the rear don't have their markings so I'm not sure exactly what they are.
