Here's a pic of how my car sits now with the BCs on. I wish I took a pic before I put the coilovers on but...

They ride really nice and I love them!!

19's or 20's??? And how low were able to get on fronts? The reason why I ask is that some members are having problems going "low" on their BC coils. I just wanna make sure there's enough thread for me to go lower if I purchase these coils.

Car looks good!!!

Thanks man! Those are 20's and I can go lower if I wanted to. It's my daily driver and I have three kids that ride in it pretty regularly so tucking tire, as much as I would love to, just isn't practical for me right now.

I hear you. Did you get the coils from one of our Vendors here. I believe last time I checked ... it was $900 shipped. Extra $30 w/ the extenders in the rears to adjust the dampers.

damn, it's a good look for the car. I'm actually looking to get some coilovers this summer, but i honestly don't know what brand to go with. I know alot of people swear by teins, but i hear tanabe's are good to. I'm looking for something good, but a price to go along with it..i'm a daily driver of the gs300 also..so something comfy..any ideas ?

I'm a fan of the BCs but I don't have any experience with any other kind. You'll find guys on here who swear by Tein, Megan, and Tanabe too so....for me, I like the BCs. There are some vendors on here who carry quite a few. You might hit them up for some comparison information. Teins will cost more than BCs and Megan just slightly less if that helps...good luck!

Yep, I got them from one of the vendors on here. I called quite of few of them to get their best price shipped. I ended up paying a little more than $900 shipped with the extenders and with the rubber upper mounts as opposed to the standard pillowball mounts. PM for the vendor's name and contact...
