Low problems

So today I was trying to lower the front of my bc coils as my rears are already maxed. I crank the collars down about a half an inch so they were all the way down and set the car back up. There is no change in my ride height and I'm confused. Maybe I need a new swaybar or new end links? Is that what's keeping me from being lower?
 
Fronts don't go that low. If you really want low, you'll need to order the Extreme Low kit from BC racing. Sways and endlinks wont make it lower
 
You'll need to remove collars to go lower, or go with shorter/stiffer springs. That or your ride height isn't settled yet, usually takes a good drive for my car to settle back down after being on a lift or using a floor jack. Hopefully you purchased the EDP package when you got coils from BC.
 
I bought the car with the coils already on it so that's the issue. Anyone have experience with the extreme drop kit? Like what parts it comes with?
 
Also with the camber plates I adjusted them so the four bolts were as far back as possible and there was no real change in camber
 
The EDP coilovers have shorter cartridges on the front and allow you to thread the body of the coilover further down, other than that the parts are the same externally, collars, spring, camber plate etc. You'd need an alignment to verify how much camber you are running up front, as low as I am I haven't had the need to run more than -2 degrees up front, the allen bolts on the camber plate aren't maxed out at all. Hopefully you can sort everything out soon!
