      It has nothing to do with stretch. The overall diameter of your tires are 1.5" smaller than stock. Stock tire is a 195/65-14. Use this calculator and you will see:

              Just to state our coilovers are not china made as implied above. All seals are Swiss and German internals.

                My comments were more in reference to BC and JOM coilovers.

                  No worries just wanted to reply with some info. Thanks for the clarification.
                  Our seals are 3x as thick. Internal valving is better. Diameter of the internal shaft is thicker. Camber plates rotate 360 degree. All translates to longer life and a smoother ride. 36 way adjustable.

                    OP, if you're tight on cash just get the $400 Ground Control setup with the perches & springs. Or German Engineering's kit. Or you can do what others, as well as I, have done and source your own sleeves, perches, and springs. You'll be able to use your bilstein sports with them. Then in the future when you want to go lower and still have travel you can section your strut housings and get the bilsteins shortened/revalved to match your set up. Read a lot as well; check out the sticky at the top of this suspension section about "ride setup" or whatever it is. Maybe try to look for feed back on certain combos.

                    Shouldn't all camber plates rotate 360* as long as they have a spherical/some type of bearing? Or am I missing something.

                      The bearings might turn 360 degrees, but the construction of the plate might not allow rotation without hitting something.

                      Being able to rotate 360º seems kind of pointless though. They will never rotate that far once on the car.

                        Oh so when coming out a driveway or a tight turn there is no pivot? Or binding with a none pivot style? Most don't have a bearing there. Our springs even rest on a bearing.

                        "Shouldn't all camber plates rotate 360* as long as they have a spherical/some type of bearing? Or am I missing something." - They should but most only go as much as 180 or so
