    Default New suspension pics

    Took some pictures finally on the new set up.

    I'm on BC BR coilovers now with shorter/higher rate springs, shorter shock cartridges and smaller lock rings up front.

    I spent a lot of time emailing back and forth with BC's R&D department figuring out how to get my front end lower without sacrificing any ride quality or removing any lock rings and such.

    The final result is exactly what I wanted, no finger gap all around (but at the same time not tucking) without saggy rear syndrome.

    I'm not running camber arms if you are curious and the front is all the way down but I think the back has little more.

    This was on the standard BC's (note the high front end)


    And this is now





    Big thanks to Peter @ Next Mod and the APH crew for getting me where I needed to be.

    And Mat (Seche Media) for my vinyl needs.

    Not many people will go as far as contacting the R&D dept at the manufacturer for help and advise.

    Now the $1mill question...what's next?

    Drop looks really good. I think you and Steven need to have photoshoot to see who has the lowest hatch on the boards.

    Not many people no, but I wanted to be happy with my new purchase. Mike @ BC was really great I am going to write a review soon of the product and the entire process.

    What's next? More aggressive wheels. The new goal is no poke, no stretch, perfectly flush

    I think he is lower, he rubbed through his fender liners and is trying to take home a lowest car trophy at the next show he enters.

    But I would like to do a shoot with him once his car is done

    Thanks again guys

    Drago the wheels are A-tech Monoblocks which are sold as DAI Monza's here.

    They may be discontinued though, Rick @ Garage 16 tried to do a group buy and couldn't get them anymore.

    Oh and congrats Steven!
