Sounds good. You still liking your BC coils? I'm thinking about getting some. Just ruled out the Ksports.

I actually like my ride stiff. I was referring more to if you have come across any problems with them yet. Do you know how much they can drop the car too?

i have no problems with the coilovers yet and ive probably put between 10-15k miles on them already since installed. some people had a ticking noise with theres but BCracing fixed the problem, if you buy yours and have the issue i have a how-to on a way to fix it.
heres a before and after of my front drop

i can probably go another half inch to full inch lower but some parts under the car sit pretty low already. ill take pics later and measure how far off the ground i am, but i imagine if you go as low as you can and you have a lip on your car you will probably be slammed to the ground or d@mn close.

Alright that's good to know that there's a fix to the problem. I'll drop the coils all the way at first since I got smooth FL roads. I don't plan on getting a lip either.. Maybe just upgrade to an SE-R front bumper eventually. Thanks in advance for the measurements and extra pics

Is that your subframe? How high off the ground is your flexpipe? If you could measure the wheel gap when you see how much lower they can go that would be cool too. Thanks again.
Oh, and you don't have any problems with speed bumps at your height do you?

Not sure what the piece is called but there is one on each side and looks like one end is attached to control arm, but i didnt take a real close look. Sorry not to knowledgeable on what certain parts are called. I got under the front to check the flex pipe and seems that some type of frame is about the same height off the ground. The flexpipe is slightly higher than 3in, couldnt get a real accurate measurement because the cars to low to get my whole arm under. As for wheel gap i can almost fit two fingers between them, so maybe about an inch.
Ill have to measure how much lower i can go another day. Im going to have to take wheels off to check that.
As for speed bumps, they suck. Just have to go very slow and at an angle over them and im ok. But any type of speed and ill bottom out.
I hate typing so if it doesnt make sense let me know.

I wonder what those pieces are called. The frame by your flexpipe would be your subframe. the subframe on my car is the lowest part to the ground. i'll have to re-read this when I get to my house to see if I missed anything. and yeah I expected that for the speed bumps, just wasn't sure if regardless how you approach it if you would scrape. i already have to completely avoid 2 or 3 speed bumps in my area just with springs.
