PIC REQUEST: BC Coilovers on the Lowest setting

The fronts go very low, the rear will depend on which spring length option you select.

So If I wanted to lower the car 1.5 or 1.75 what spring length should I go with? The rears I heard only go a little more than an inch.

You can lower the rear more than an inch. I would swear you can tuck in the rear wheels using the shorter springs. You should email the guys at bc, they're really knowledgeable.

And very helpful, I had an install question and they emailed me back within the hour. I was floored.

There is a little more than an inch of adjustment in the rear for the spring. I think the default spring is a 230 mm but I believe they also have a 210 mm. If you go that low though you are going to scrape on everything.
