Default My SBM on BC racing extreme drop coils with rca's.

Sorry for the crappy pic but I wanted to show you guys the BC racing extreme drop coils will lower the car plenty over the standard BC racing coils. The coils are all the way UP with front and rear rca's. Rims are 19x9 235 35 f and 19x10 275 30 r. Still have to get some spacers and an alignment.

Nice drop with the RCAs....it provides max piston travel...and lessens the stress to your seals.

So looks like without the RCAs...you will have about 1 finger gap with the coils all the way up?

Not sure on the spring rates but they are softer than the spring normally offered on this drop. I put some miles on the setup yesterday and the upper control arms hit on big bumps even after I adjusted the front dampening full hard. I think I'm going to remove the front rca's which should give me around 3/4 of an inch of height.
