Good to know Brian, I will have to ask one of my buddies here in town who has some BC's installed on his FC. He drives it very hard and has had those C/O's for 3-4 years now.

MAN I am sorry to see all that rot under your FC....really blows. Knowing you though, you'll find a way to patch it up and make it look better then it came out of the factory. :icon_tup:

Yeah, def ask him about it... it's serious hard cornering though. As in my tires were rubbing the heat shield on the muffler! That's alot of flex. I ALMOST went and swapped the rear swing arm bushings for the AWR bearing version to take car of it.

Thanks man, I'm around the corner, over the hump, and I'll have some pics up in my Diary Thread, lemme know.... I think I did the factory proud :rofl:

..............I am losing my fucking mind! BC Racing contacted me today and said the coilovers won't even ship until Monday. I have been waiting a month...not cool.

However I have almost got my water injection research wrapped up and am pretty confident in what I want to run in my set-up.

The weather is getting very nice and I am losing my patience....I could be putting miles on the motOr:beatdeadhorse5::banghead::cuss::o10::66::36:

....i didnt know moter was spelled with an e.....:suspect:

Sean im gonna ignore that... lucky for you. Im requiring you to let me know when you get your BCs so i can come over and drool on them.

Found my damn camera so here are some pics in high qaulity:icon_tup::icon_tup:

Pic of the install of my Black Energy Suspension bushing kit and a Racing Beat Front sway bar. I installed all the bushings except for the rear lower contol arm WHICH worked out to my advantage since you CAN'T have the MMR rear camber adjusters installed unless you have the factory bushing installed OR a sperical bushing since polys will not budge causing binding issues

Gave me a chance to clean up down there too...................

** little tip here for anyone going to install E.S. Bushings for the rear sway bar endlink: You have to install the top bolt inboard-to-outborad or it will hit your body pinch weld

Here are the MMR rear camber adjusters installed on the car. They adjust ON the car btw......

BC's came in today, I have them installed but am dialing in the FC right now. Pics and review of coilovers and the FC ON THE GROUND will be very very soon

:drool:

Looks so good. :icon_tup::icon_tup:

I need a towel.

So HOT Sean, looks fucking AMAZING. Still LOVE that color.

Oooh you will have to bring it out Saturday and let me touch you. I mean it! Damnit I mean your car! Haha

Finally an update:

So I figure I will start off with giving a small review so far on the BC Racing type BR coilovers......these things:
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...cture016-1.jpg

I am very impressed by the qaulity especially since they are made in Taiwan. The coilovers came with a 1 year warrenty, the necessary adjustment tools, some product info and a SWEET decal! The whole assembly in general was solid and the craftsmanship impressive, BEST part was the include a brake line clip:icon_tup:

Camber plates very nice BUT they peg out at -1.5 degrees because of the allen bolts hitting the bulkhead. The Dampner is fully adjustable with 30 settings.

The install on the car was easy and they came preloaded. I would say judging from when I first put the FC on the ground, the ride hieght was about stock...maybe slightly lower. They adjust just like any other coilover and I will say that the threaded cylinder turned easily IF you loosen the rear and front lower arm bolts.

Total time to install and adjust the ride hieght accordenly was around 4 hours. I used a digital vernier caliper to measure the distance from the bottom lock ring to the small preload lock ring. This ensured linear drop. I DID have to drop the passenger front a 1/2 inch more then the drivers side though to get equal fender gap.

I also have MAXED out my MMR Rear Camber adjusters(bolt fully tightened and bottomed out)) and I am in the -1.2 degree camber in the rear.
