Had a chance to install my BC Racing coilovers last weekend and I am happy with the results overall. It is low enough that it definitely improves the looks of the car substantially. I would have probably went with just a spring/koni yellow setup if we had any decent spring options that eliminated the rake. The ride quality is great, on full soft I think that it is REALLY close to the stock ride quality. Stiffen it up a little bit and it becomes a whole lot more fun. I only have about 70 miles on it so far but it really transformed the car and I am very happy with it so far and have an appointment to get it aligned Wednesday after everything settles a little bit.

I think I am going to add some spacers this weekend as well. What do you guys think, 10mm, 12mm or 15mm?

niceeeeeee looooooks sexy hehehe

for stock wheels you might wana go with bigger spacers you can probabyly go with 15mm and 12mm

i just installed 10mm spacers to my rear wheels.. im rubbing with 15 lol hmm do i can sell them to you if you want so u just have to buy 12 or 10 for front wheels?

Thanks man, yours is looking great as well! I found some 15mm's for the rear and 10mm for the front from a forum member that I'm going to try out.

Is there any more room for it to go lower in the front?

Hey, did you get the RWD ones or the special ordered xi versions?

No you cant go any lower as they come. There is room to thread the perches down about another 3/8" but the center spindle? wont thread down far enough into the strut body to allow it. You may be able to disassemble it and cut it down or get a shorter one from BC? Just throwing out ideas.

They are the ones for the RWD, I am still not positive they make special order ones for the XI.

We called directly to BC Racing and they said that they don't stock or ship AWD versions because lack of demand, so any order will have to specially ordered and made. Takes 3-4 weeks to make and ship. It's also the same price, no additional cost.

I would advise against 10mm spacers since they dont have enough meat to make them hubcentric, try 12mm instead, far less chances of wheels shaking.

The 10's from ECS worked out really well as far as that is concerned. I think 12mm would have looked a little better though. These will get me through till spring when I plan on buying new wheels though so I'm not that worried about it.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but you just simply ordered the RWD versions from their website, no modifications?

Yes, they fit perfect but just don't go as low. They are the extreme low version which goes slightly lower than the other model I believe. I am still very happy with them, I think they sit at the perfect height for a daily.

Great, thank you!
