One question for all you guys, whats the minimum drop or how high can you go with BC Coils. Can you go back to stock height with it ?

Bananaz · 05-21-2014, 11:53 PM

Yes of course you can be stock height.

Thanks Bananaz, some coilovers like mine - M7 cant go high enough as i wanted. Even at highest height setting, it still sit about 26 1/4'' (fender to ground, stock wheel 295/30/19 profile) at rear thus the question. I want to have more ground clearance now.

If you experience some creaking when going over larger bumps, what is the best way to correct this? Pre-load adjustment?

Depending on your drop your end-links and bushings could be the culprit. I would spray some silicone in the bushings and see. If you have identified it as the strut/shock then that could be preload.

I just went for a ride in my buddies G37x and it sounds like a knocking noise coming from the top strut mount. Nothing crazy loud but it is noticeable.
