Maximum Ride Height for BC Racing Coils
What is the maximum ride height I can get from BC Racing Coil?
I don't wont to go low. I just want 1" or less lower than stock.
I know it can be adjusted up and down via the lower collar.
However, the shock body is so short compare to the stock making me wonder if I can set the car at the stock height? Will I have any threads left on the lower bracket if I set it at the stock ride height?

if you search, you can prolly find a picture of the guy who got the first set of bc racing coilovers on an IS 250 AWD and he played around with it. He took pictures on max drop and max lift.

I got bc coilovers put on my car last month by a local shop. Before installing I told them how low I wanted the car which would be about 1"-1.5" drop, basically tried to keep it about stock sport ride height. Well when they finished they said they tried to raise it high as they could, so now the fronts are maybe less than a 1/4" from tire and backs are tucked a little over an 1" under tire. Is there something they did wrong or does that sound right?

I want Coilover to be able to fix the "Lexus Lean" as well as playing around with adjustable height.
I wanna go lower bit by bit up to a point where the car is not practicle to drive then I will raise it up a bit and stay there.
What I afraid is the shock body(the threaded area) will be too short to raise the car to near stock ride height.

Please make sure that the shop knows the proper way to adjust the ride height...

Thanks for the help and SCWB sorry for writing my question on your thread, I didn't even think about that till now. I might just have to see if another shop can adjust them or might as well do it myself.
