quick question, the 1/4 compensation needed to install the shock, is that a 1/4" extra on the ride height or a 1/4" extra on the spring upper adjutable perch? because 1/4" on the spring DOES NOT equate to a 1/4" difference in ride height.

 

Well the problem has been solved. BC Racing shipped me out the 230's and I got a chance to install them today. I adjust the height settings on the rear springs so I wouldn't be maxed out anymore. Gave my self 1" from the bottom. Lowered the car and looks so much better. Adjusted the camber and toe until I can get an appointment for my alignment. The 210's just seem to be way to short of a spring. I would advise anyone getting the coilovers to get the 230's, I'm hoping this helps everyone out with the situation.

 

Are you holding on to the 210s? I may want them if the 230 doesn't go low enough for me.

 

BC Racing has requested I send them back so they can look over them and make sure they didn't fail. I still have well over 1 3/4" to go down on the rear spring mount. I can still slam the rear down, I don't think you'll have any problems.

 

Damn, this makes me feel sketchy about having my shop install the 210's

 

*thread revival*
Did you end up installing the 210's, or the 230's? Based on what Filthy was experiencing, it doesn't seem like the 210's would allow you to get the ride height you ended up with (i.e. a little bit of wheel gap in the rear)?

 

in for an answer for this too!!!

 

I installed my BC rears a couple days ago and if I remember correctly I have the 210 rear springs. I have them set so that the distance between the top of the small adjustment collar and the bottom of the upper spring perch/mount is approx. 1-1/8" (eyeballing it with a tape measure), and this puts my 285/35/19 tire leaving just a slight gap (quarter inch or less) between the tire and the top of the fender well. So based on that I should be able to go ~1-1/8" higher. If I remember correctly there is at least 1" of threads in the other direction so it can go at least an inch lower.
