I have about a 1/2 inch more, but then the rear threaded portion will hit the ebrake line

LOL.. Thanks ken! I slapped that thing on as soon as i got them man. Appreciate the communication.
If you're going to buy a perfectly good set of performance coilovers, why dump the car to the point that it'll handle like s***? You can do that with $50 e-bay coilovers and stock shocks... Don't get me wrong, I'm not one to tell you how to spend your money, just seems like a waste.

I agree. I totally get what youre saying buddy. Ebay coilover can be slapped on any car and make it look good. But you won't get the ride quality that's for sure. I can't speak for everyone but i can speak for myself. The BC coilovers are great. Hands down. I love the slammed look but i also want the ride quality. With the BC i was able to get both. Handles are not bad at all. If i had to say, the handling was great. But i know we all have our own purposes for why we buy certain things. What it comes down to is that we love our cars and we like to drive them..

not a problem
Eagerly still awaiting mine... PM'd you for some tracking.
Just put some Toyo R1Rs on. Very soft, very grippy, way more than the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001 I had, but won't last anywhere near as long. Car reeeally feels like it needs this suspension upgrade now.

Update-4/12/09
My front driverside enlink bolt came off... dont know how long it has been like that..but i couldnt feel any difference...weird...put a new one on.. other then that they are beautiful still...and i decided to lower them allllll the way down. ya. its nice. There was no seizing at all..just sprayed them down with water and wiped'em... the spaners spinned no problem..and everything looked as if they were brand new.. Ive realized why i have clunking and what not..its so obvious..cross member bars hitting the sway bars... Still feelin good.
ive got a question for you slammed people..did you re-position the rear sway bar so that the endlink conects under the sway bar?
can you explain that a bit further? I just put in my BCR coilovers and only my front right is clunking. I made sure everything was tight, so I have no idea wtf is going on. is the clunk you are talking about the front or rears?
AZI-Mine was in the rear... i have no clunk in the front anymore...an endlink came loose from the strut... check to make sure your endlinks are still connected.... Also have you messed with the coilovers at all? Or did you just put them on.
i just took out the rear sway bar and no more clunk
......
So what do i do...
adjustable endlinks?
New rear sway?
OHHHH SHIIIIT 1000 POSTS!!!!!!

I just threw them straight in. I didn't adjust anything. I was reading around and read about somebody having a lose spring when they got theirs. I didn't check mine. I will check the tension tonight.
