BC Owners - Pictures of Drop

MattP725 · 04-16-2012, 10:14 AM

Would any BC owners mind posting a picture of the lowest drop front/rear that they were able to acheive without rubbing the fender liners? I have it set pretty stiff... 10 from hardest... and I am rubbing over minor bumps but I have it pretty much tucked... I'd like some guidance on what I can acheive without rubbing.

Trying to keep it primarily to BC owners if possible since the suspension travel may differ on other brands... btw I only drove a bit with the BCs but the ride is honestly pretty great... even at a stiff setting the ride isn't at all harsh.

are they brand new or used? The reason I ask is because new coilovers will need to settle - I have mine set in the middle but I rub when hitting a big dip in the road. Tire size and offsets also make a difference on rubbing

Im dropped on the BR series coils just enough to eliminate the gap and i never rubbed, im on 12 front and 16 rear settings. i only started rubbing about 2 weeks ago after my spacer install and it really doesnt happen all that often.

Yeah I already have 15/20mm spacers... I expect some contact with big dips but I was running over manhole covers and it was rubbing. Thanks for the pics Romulus... what size spacers did you go with?

actually the same as you, 15/20. only notice it every so often. i went a little bit stiffer up front i might be on 10 but i think its still 12 and its very rare i rub. when it was on 14 it would rub with gentle dips at higher speeds but nothing to bad.

10 from the hardest actually doesn't feel to bad for the little bit I drove it.
