    BC coilovers arent going low in the front. wtf?

    Ok so I just slapped on my style 5s and to my surprise the strut insert won't lower any? I got about 4 turns on each side and then nothing. Won't go any lower and that's bs!! What's going on here? I have no adjustment. I'm baffled. Thanks guys

    are you adjusting from the collars on the springs itself? or are you adjust from the collar on the bottom of the coilover body? The two collars below the springs only adjust preload, and will to a degree lower your car, but shorten stroke at the same time. You should be adjust the height from the very bottom collar.

                  When you cut the strut housing how long of a piece did you leave on?

                    ^that.....

                    You can always run a helper spring to get it lower if you need.

                      Pretty sure it was 50mm. I emailed them on Friday so we shall see.

                        Do you have any pictures of them installed? Maybe pics will help.

                          email them and ask them for shorter springs. The springs they give you on the normal coilover set up are just to long. i think mine are 140mm in the front n 100mm in the rears.

                              Those don't seem that long. What are the rates?
