Finally installed the BCs last night Personally lol I'm not a fan it's my first coilovers on any of my cars. Maybe I'm use to coming from Tein H techs with sport Sturts. My buddy tell me just give it a week and I will like it but I guess it makes the car look nice but idk about coilovers. I'm taking it to Jtuned performance In Delaware to get ailment and raise it a tad and see if they can set a good softer feel. But everyone that see my car say they like the look but idk lol about the feel. Image

Coilovers > struts.

Looks good. I had mine set on the softest setting and it was great.

Do u recommend putting it to soft tomorrow when I go to the shop? My plan is I want it above the fender I don't like the look rite now wheels tucked. So 1.5 up in the rear and 1 inch up in the front because these cars front fender is cut different. I hate driving and my rear isn't balance to the front. That's why I liked my h tech because the rear was higher standing still but when driving it even out to the front under load. I'm not into the low life and thing I just want a nice drop and comfortable ride. No saggy look

Idk I'm just not a fan but I deal with it aww what happened tomorrow after adjust and alignment. And drop my tire from 50 psi to 45 psi. I always ran high psi because I have 10.5 square with 245/35 stretch

Even on their softest setting they handled better than stock. Being on the softest just gave it that stock like ride. I don't auto-x the car or anything so no need for anything stiffer.

I'll likely never run anything but coilovers again. Only issue I had on my 07 M35x was that for some reason my stabilizer links would go bad every 5kmi or so but I was the only one experiencing that so it might have been something with my car. Haven't heard of any other guys with BC's having that issue...or even with D2s.

My links are bad as we speak so funny you mention that. I will try the soft setting because I just want a comfortable ride. Will see tomorrow.

Thanks a lot got Jtuned did the adjustments today, springs was loose and all dampers was set to the max so that's why I didn't like it. He set the rear at half and front 1 notch below half. Raised the front 1/4 and rear 3/4. Car feels great nomore bouncing smooth! Only think I have the rear brake light rattle so I need to put something to get it from hitting the glass. Other than that car feels amazing. That's a lot.

No problem! Glad you like it...BC's, for the price, are a great bang for the buck.

Hey, I was hearing noise in the rear deck. Well removed the rear coilovers and found they were installed with the rear extenders and the open cavity caused the extenders to rattle inside the cavity. After removeing it nomore noise. I guess you're supposed to drill a whole or something so u can easy adjust rear dampening but I removed it all together. So maybe guys with Ms if you still have the rear extenders and didn't drill a whole it makes rattling sounds in the strut mount cavity.

Yeah I never installed those. I just set it to the softest setting and left it that way.
