my advise, fender top to ground, aim for 660mm front and 655mm rear,
or if no front lip try 655mm front and 650mm rear so 1 or 1.5 finger gap all around
adjust height without spare tire and half tank gas
these should be safe for daily but you still need to pay extra attention

Thanks everyone! I actually realized in the middle of the night that I can just do it and go get it realigned. We didn't touch the adjustments when we put them on. The YouTube video is perfect. Unfortunately, I woke up sick as a dog and my wife won't let me go play in the garage

how are the BC's are they too stiff ? Better than stock? I'm trying to debate if I should get some.

My stock springs are too stiff IMO and the front looks like it needs to go down 1/2 inch, but I already scrape in san fran lol..

Im on BC-R too.

raise it yourself, it takes literally 10 mins

i scrape everywhere, its a given if your on these coilovers, they drop extremely low.

Here's what 650mm in the front and 640mm in the rear looks like. This was the lowest recommended settings for the KW's. Def let us know what you think about the BC's,.. I still think i should've gone that route and saved some cash.

Link - While these exact measurements are a good frame of reference, tire pressure and tire type could all make a difference when measuring from the ground to fender. However, I'm sure our cars are all pretty damn close. I'll be playing with it this weekend and using yours as guides.

To all that asked about the BC's.... I love them so far. Much less stiff than stock. I'm at 10 notches from soft, and that seems pretty good. I haven't cranked them up yet to see how hard they will go. The steering felt a little squishy until I got my alignment - Now it feels nice and tight.

Joe Z - The pin stripe is an off white with a smaller gray stripe with it. It looks pretty sharp. I have a pic that I can't post via my iPad (which annoys me about this site) that shows some design work. They were painted on. There is a logo/trademark that I want to track down where it came from. The car used to be an Ohio car.

I'll post some pics when all said and done.

KWs, Teins would be great, I really would not go with the BCs

With what reason? Personal experience?

Tire pressure is 38psi all around. Tires are 245/35/19 Front and 275/30/19 Rear.

And I have TOM'S full kit on so decide no go lower. I just done my yearly 4 wheel alignment, here is the update:

658mm Front, 648mm Rear, 1.5 finger gap front, 1 finger gap rear.

Front Camber are -1.7/-1.8, Rear Camber are -1.6/-1.6

So again, my advise you can try adjust it 660mm front and 650mm rear and see how you like about it.

PS: I only KW on my cars (with linear springs for track if needed), not a big fan of BC-R.

Link - It turns out - these are the exact measurements I ended up with! Good call. From center to fender is 13.5" in front; 13" in the Rear.

I just got it it re-aligned and I think it looks great:

Here is a closer pic of the pin stripe.. I like the design up front, but not so much on the rear badge! Check out the "signature" logo... I wonder who did it - and how do I get rid of it?! It is painted on.

Yes, the drop looks perfect now. Nice! But OMG, why did someone think that looked good around the Lexus badge on the back. If it is painted on and not stuck on there like most pinstripes, then the only way I can think of getting rid of it would be to get it repainted. I mean, there's really no other option. And yeah, I'd want to get that repainted STAT!

BTW you never answered, where in VA are you?
