Default To those running coilovers.

I am just curious of the following.

If you are running coilovers, what other suspension mods are you running? (ie. Figs MEGA Arms, Front LCA rear bushings, toe links, SPC ball joints, etc).

Or are you just running the coilovers themselves?

Thanks for any info.

You are forgetting the most important aspect here.

What are you building/setting up your car for? Same for the others who have already changed their setup.

BC-R w/Swift springs here. They are actually sitting in the box until I get some time with a friend to install... I am just looking for a slight drop with adjustability and hopefully a bit of improvement in ride quality over the 2010 suspension for daily driving.

For now I'm just installing the coilovers but will get additional components if necessary later (maybe after changing wheels.)

Thanks for the info! I am also looking to just lower the car for the time being on stock wheels. Nothing super aggressive, but likely a touch lower than the swift lowering springs would accomplish.

Were you able to bring alignment back with that setup?

I am going to get FIGS lca bushing for sure.

I'm looking to lower the car to roughly a stance like this, on the stock wheels for the time being. If I'm going to need rear arms etc to get the alignment back I'd like to know up front.

BCs with swift springs, F sport rear bar, Figs Mega Arms, Figs Toe Links, Figs front LCA #2 bushings, Cusco front strut bar. I'm also going to be adding the rear upper links 1&2 as soon as they are ready.
I run Michelin PSS 305s in the rear and have different alignment settings.
I am doing it for cornering performance and the aggressive look is a plus.
