Default Pic Request: BC Racing Coils slammed to the max w/o RCA's

If anyone running BC Racing coilovers on stock suspension w/o RCA's lowered all the way down, please post pics. I'm having an issue with my fronts. I think they should go much lower than this pic but i could be wrong.

I think it's only the Rear, that could be slammed.

Yep, only the rear.

The front have to adjust the perch and/or install RCA and also cut the top section of where the UCA hits.

yea it sucks.. but if you want to save ride quality and go a little lower just take off one of the collars.. My ksports went the same height. I had 3 collars so i took off one and it lowered it about another inch.

You can't go any lower than the length of the shock... in case with BC, the shock is long.

It's impossible to go beyond the length of the shock body.

For the items you are talking about, it may be that the shock is very short and bottom tube is longer. Not that great of a shock for shock travel... I think we are talking about a different coil over.

Are you kidding me??? Please tell me this is a mistake and that these coils go lower then that. I thought I saw pics before of some wheels tucking with these coils.

check out assualt tech... it looks like it could slam. Yes, that is the lowest front drop for BC without adjust other parts of the coils or adding RCA. The rear will slam on BC.

That sucks. I am getting ready to order a set. Now, I am going to need proof that they can go lower.

Maybe someone with megans can compare by posting a pic.

so thats as low as it goes huh? i really didn't want to install RCA's b/c i run into the issues with the UCA hitting the body but i guess that's what it takes to go lower. thanks guys.

Although I'm not looking for the slammed look (at least not yet), I do want to be lower then what is shown in that picture. Seriously... that's how my car looks in the front and I'm still on my Tanabe DF210's. Maybe I'm a few millimeters higher to be exact.
