Default Needed MORE LOW...problem solved!

Just picked up my BCRs from UPS! I love the overall beefiness of the shock housing and the piston. Overall quality is top notch...reminds me of the Buddy Club N+ Dampers I had on my boosted Civic. Thanks to Kris @ GoToRacing for the hook-up!



Weekend project, here I come!

You'll love them! I still love mines. Curious what spring rates you got and did you get the trunk extenders?

Fronts installed. Went from 26.5" floor to fender to a 24". Got some minimal rubbing on medium harsh cornering on a #10 damper settings...so I'm gonna raise it up to 24.5" and see what we've got. Pics to come after I do the rears today.

i ordered these the same day I bought my 250, I love em. Didn't adjust them out the box, just put em on and my car sat perfect for how I want it right now. Driving from Jersey to North Carolina it's like the car is still stock! Good choice in coils.

Well, got everything installed with minimal issues. Still got some minor height adjustments I'll want to make on the fronts, and some dampening dialing-in on the rears. On 15 front and 12 rear right now; spring rates are 12 k on the front and 8k on the rear. I left the trunk carpeting out until I get my BC extenders. That reminds me, I have yet to re-install the engine covers. LOL!

Ok, now on with what we all want to see...the pics! Please keep in mind that the pics were taken in low-light conditions in my garage (even with a Canon flash on!).
