BC coilover install pics review

[TWISFM]

When i just threw mine in without adjusting i had a little clunky noise up front.. i lowered the car a little and the clunk went away...and now im fully slammed no clunking but no rear sway...

 

[bazooka joe]

quick question...do i need to use anything from the stock strut/spring set up, bushings/hats? i don't think so but i'm not positive...thanks

 

[TWISFM]

no sir. Only thing you reuse is front sway but not front endlinks and rear sway bar and stock rear endlinks

so i don't need the front end links?

nope. they come w/ shorter ones for the front. all you need is rear end links.

the BC coils will also come with new nuts for the mounts.

i knew i should have opened that box sooner! i went out and bought some just in case(cryhard)

I stuck with the OEM flanged nuts. Much beefier than the ones supplied. (That's the upper strut mounts)

thanks for the help all!

Honestly i reused everything for my P5. Kept the stock endlinks and sway bars. bushing and all that have no other place to go. I also bought extenders for the rear for that i don't have to pull everything out to adjust the rear.

 

[Azi]

the extenders were worth it. esp. on my sedan. I was able to install the extenders, w/o having to cut the seatbelt bracket. All I have to do is flip down the seat, and the knob is right there.

 

[bazooka joe]

just to clarify, many of you left the settings etc, from right out of the box?(uhm)

 

[TWISFM]

nah..they stting out of the box is tooo racked....

 

[o.g.sk8er]

yea, they are a bit raked out of the box. lol

Just install them and adjust to your liking.

 

[Azi]

mine were pretty good right out of the box. only the left rear was 1/8" too short. but that didn't matter as I went in today to get the car corner weighted.

 

[not yellow]

yup, i used the factory setting. was perfect for me. a nice, moderate, even drop. just retightened all the threaded rings after install.
