well i never looked into the coils ever b4 this but now im thinking about it. Im new to this s*** lol im a newb when it comes to stuff like this n the turbo threads. With all the talk on spring rates and s*** its like another language to me. It was in the tein thread that someone said the tein ones dont fit so what would make the bc ones fit?? It doesnt make sense if one works b ut the other wouldnt? Also even though people have them doesnt mean there made for the 2.5's they could have modified it. Do you need to modify it then ??

well the companies heard you had one and decided it would be best not to give you what you want..... j/k!!

Im sure that realistically any coil-over set would fit the 2.5's.... however, there is a difference between fitting, and working. aren't there people with the BC racing/2.5?

there are 4 coilover kits.BC racing 1000$~1200$D2 Racing - 600~800 $Ksport - 600~800 $Teins - 1600$

best one is BC racing because of obvious things like 32way adjustable dampers and pillowball mounts and great quality of build.

Teins is basically the same features as D2 Racing and Ksport's coillovers but at twice the price.

Lock them perch up! I can't even raise my car back up because all the perch are lock together so when I try to unlock one the other goes with it lol. I do scrape everywhere but it will look much better!

Just make sure to roll your fenders!

It actually depends more on the offset. If you have low offset you will need to get the fenders roll because you are having the wheel closer to the fender. with 7.5 and +45 offset (stock) you will be tucked in and not flush. So its more on the offset.

I had 8.5 +35 rear and I didn't need to roll my fender at all until I put +20mm spacer on the rear then I had to roll them.

thanks for the quick response, just a few questions:

1.what size are your rims?2.are your fenders rolled?3. do you often scrape or bottom out?

i live in ny and we dont have the best roads not only that im worried about driveways and stuff like that
