I've searched several BC coilover threads looking for my answer. Does anyone know what drop setting do the BC coilovers come in out of the box?

 

Way off, They are just assembled, not set up out of the box.

 

What I'm asking is, once installed how much lower than stock will the car sit without adjusting the spring height?

 

well you have to have a pre-load as you know. Also you should be able to keep stock ride hight but you will have to adjust. Refer to jasonZ 101 thread and their is a diagram on the hight of the 350z(stock) fallow it to a t with liquids and stuff. Coil over arnt a put it on and forget it thing you have to fine tune it to what height your looking for and fyi keep the ratio. hopes this helps

 

Ok so I just installed the rear set, and set them as low as possible. In the next few days I'm attempting the front. I searched through the 101 thread on adjusting the height, and it only shows you how to do the procedure. I guess that I'm just going to have to install them as they sit now and determine how low I want to go from there. Seems like there is going to be alot of putting on and taking off of the wheels, along with removing the coilover bolt at the bottom to get the height just right. If anyone has any good tips on how to make this procedure go easier please chime in. Be easy on me, this is my first time installing any suspension parts. Thanks.

 

Thats it, up , down, adjust , up and down. No need to take the botom bolt out.

 

Cool thanks. Also I thought that to adjust the height on the fronts you had to turn the bottom most collar, then turn the bottom half of the coilover thats bolted in.
