Hello! My BC coil overs finally came in last week after about a 3 week wait, which was expected during this time of year. I installed them today with the help of a couple coworkers and it took us 2.5 hours from start to finish. Not too bad considering none of us have installed coil overs before. My first impression was that they are definitely bouncy, so I may be adjusting them this week, but they handle 100x better than stock. The lack of body roll when cornering gives me much more confidence while cornering at higher speeds. Install was simple and pretty straight forward, the proper tools and a helping hand will definitely make it easier and faster.. overall I'm happy with them. I took a couple quick pictures with my phone after the install and got my wheels put on. I didn't touch the ride height, I installed them how they came out of the box. I'm running an 18x8 +38 and 235/40/18 tire. I also ended up buying new rubber TPMS sensors. I like the new sensors much better because they match the wheels being all black, and they won't corrode over time and break on me.

I'll be debugging it this weekend, and I may go another half inch lower or so, I have been driving at this height for a week now and haven't scraped on anything. Also, has anyone ordered a spoiler from eBay? I found one for $129 and it comes painted. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAINTED-2008-NI ... 4897.l4275

Looks good, but definitely needs lower. You could have got tein springs and had way better ride quality with the same wheel gap. Any binding or funny noises from them so far?

Looks good, but yeah prob could get it down a little bit more. 2.5 hours is not bad. Cool coworkers.

Hey how much did you get your BC racing coilovers for and where? I've been shopping around seen people getting them around $800-900 range but lowest I've seen was $995. Just wondering before I jump the gun.

The ride height you have in the picture looks straight. Anything lower would look tacky with your wheel setup. Have you experienced and noises with your coilovers since you've had them?
