No, coilovers are different. I can only see that if they get 30+ people in. CMS is already doing a great job in getting the first batch. Its very limited production still.LongBeachCoupe wrote:

Not sure what sand noise is. Could you explain more? Make sure to preload the rear when installing.nnguyen wrote:I have a sand like noise coming from the back not sure wth it is but gonna check 2mrw when i drop it to the floor =]
you are talking about the damper setting there right?, not some insane crazy spring rate lolLoop wrote:

Take in consideration when lowering the car even more, the ride tends to get more harsh. My ride is not harsh and I am running 15F/15R.
Thanks for clarifying. Yes, the damper settings.mcheddadi wrote:

Ok well they can do softer springrates so I'm getting 5kg/mm front and rear springs. should be really smooth. 5kg/mm = 280 lbs/in rates of compression per springs and btw 7kg/mm = 392 lbs/in.mcheddadi wrote:I thinking of getting 4K or 5K spring rates on these for daily driving on my crap roads, what you guys think? it's not yet sure if ill be able to get those rates but well see
here's some quotes from this thread on the 7k front and rear springs:brakthru wrote:anybody know how forgiving these coilovers are over bumps. I'm thinking you can use the eibach springs on the rear with the bc shock absorbing but not sure of the overall bal of the vehicle. any thoughts?

as of now stock height im sitting 5 in off the ground. Ride quality is great for coilovers .. i cant agree with Loop about being smoother then springs =/ i think my springs was smoother .. this is more stiffer even on max soft lol. Houston roads = crap
My the handling is like 100% more improve compare to my old springs/oemshocks. Like a dream come true =]
I don't have an issue going over speed bumps, but I am also going slow over them because of my car being low.mynority wrote:dude, the car looks awesome, i just sent payment. one question tho is have u driven over a speed bump? id imagine that would cause problems for me considering ny thinks its a good idea to put a crapload of big chunks of cement in the middle of the road. but YAY now i have coilovers and no money

When you said insane stiff, were you on the max setting on hard? Some people count from either soft or hard first. Though it seems like you said you were on max since you changed it(?)Flores45 wrote:Mine make no noise, I tired out 0F/0R that was insane stiff changed it after a week.

Yes, definitely get it. Specially if your changing heights frequently. It will mess with your toe, camber, etc..nnguyen wrote:Oh and one more thing. I'm thinking of getting a firestone lifetime alignment. any thoughts on that?
Loop wrote:Ride height adjustability: I did not adjust mine and used the settings it came from the factory. Definitely has potential to be lowered more and go back to stock height. You can adjust these to your style. This isn't hard to do, you will need to take off your wheel and use the supplied wrench BC Racing gives you. Follow its instructions for proper lowering or heightening. The reason why I haven't adjusted mine yet is because I am letting it settle and I can go from there. Even without adjusting, it is lower than my Eibach springs still. Which I will be showing pictures later on this post.
Would you say the install was pretty strait forward??? I have access to a set of air tools would nice if i had access to a lift as well but nonnguyen wrote:Just got it today around 7pm .. started installing it at 8pm .. got done at 12(Ran into some problem with the studs on my car, since dealership strip 2 of it ..gotta take it back again! they strip the front left first 2 fix it... now i found out my rear has 2 strip lugs) now im running on 3nuts for my left rear GAY! .. overall installation was a breeze a lot easier then springs.

Will make a thread with pix and all later :O sorry loop for thread jacking
oh btw my kit did not come with the m12x1.25 i had to go to autozone for it.
I am not sure how safe it is, but if you were able to englarge the hole. Then you are able to adjust the camber. Having the camber feature is just a bonus.dangeris wrote:Hey Loop, If the hole was enlarged big enough so that the camber adjustments were not hidden like in this picture, will / would it work?
It's the only thing that's keeping me form getting this. I don't want to be taking off the coilover everytime the camber needs to be adjusted.
