BC Extreme Drop Coilovers
Those of you who are running these (BC Extreme Drop), what spring rates are you guys using for a daily ? Feedbacks needed. Pros and Cons would be nice. Thanks !

16F 14R, still don't really have any pros, I have long ways to soften and I really haven't really played around with the settings.
on the side know there is a bit of a clapping/ clunking noise over bumps in residential streets but I'm not sure if thats normal or what.

Just keep in mind the stiffer you go the less the suspension will compress over normal daily bumps and the stiffer/harsher it will feel.
ALSO keep in mind that the higher the rates the thicker the spring coils are and the taller the spring is, so that will affect how low you can go.
Usually a stiffer kit over the standard rates is good but not too crazy. This will give you a manageable ride for the street, while being firm enough to handle the drop and still giving you plenty of room to lower the car.
We are very experienced with the BC coilovers, so give us a call or shoot us a message and we can help out anyone interested in setting up a custom kit!

Thanks guys..sounds good to me so far..
I am currently on tein ss and its lowered all the way. So im mainly looking to go lower but at the same time ride quality. So i dont know if i should go with the same spring rates as the ss or not.

I had the hardest time keep my front lip on. Until I bolted the sucker on the bumper along with some type of special glue that I bought off of a Marco tool truck. Ever since then, I had no problems. And I scrap my drive way every damn day lol

The bottom I used about 4 screw to hold that thing on but the part that goes right under the grill always comes off cause Im using double sided tape. But its only the passenger side that comes off even though I hit both sides.
You got it off the Matco tool truck ?? What is the name of the glue ? Let me know ! I need it bad lol
