Could I go lower

[Delete]

So I just installed a set of BC Coils on my 06. Right now their on factory settings and was wondering if I could drop her even more without it causing any problems. Here are some pics. Also I'm getting chamber at the rears, would I need a chamber kit asap?

im still afraid to venture the unknown ok lol. That drop is boss. What would I have to do to achieve that? just drop it all the way?

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Ya that's BCs with extreme drop kit all the way down.

I dont think I need the extreme drop kit as I have alot of thread left.

Also I dont know if its the sedans but why are my rears tucked but not my fronts? my side panel seems to be parrallel to the floor so what gives?

Fender wells are not equal. The rear is shorter than the front; by shorter, I mean to say closer to the ground.

Rear camber helps the car track properly when cornering.

so i should be okay to lower it without a camber kit?

[Donutz]

Epic. No, you really should invest in adjustable rear camber links.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Did you take measurements before you dropped? If you did go 1.5" less than that and you should be 'ok' without a camber kit. That's about even with a prokit drop.

[The Wolf]

It does look like you have a huge amount of camber in the rear considering your ride height. Anyone else agree? Is this normal with coilovers?

[Delete]

im about to reach a 2inch drop so i guess i have to. what camber kit would you recommend with BCs or do they all function the same?

[Queue]

Epic. No, you really should invest in adjustable rear camber links.

LOL. Epic...

I agree, get a camber kit if you're going that low. You need to make sure enough rubber is planted on the road for safe driving conditions. Plus you'll save your tires from being replaced too quickly from uneven wear. Sure you'll get better cornering, but the reality is, your daily driving habits probably don't demand for extreme g-forces around corners, do they?

SPC is a popular brand for camber kits. Look into those.

:agree

i'm running SPC camber arms

[PearlM3]

Don't cheap out on camber arms like I did, get the spc ones. The cheaper ones work basically the same but are pretty much impossible to adjust

[Dave_The_BMXER]

SPC, Eibach and Megan are identical.

There is the answer! adjust to bottom and you are set :P

new development guys. Considering on getting 18x7.5 Enkei FLC-01 wrapped in 225/40/18. I have 195/65/15 with an offset of 52.5mm.
Im tired of 15’ rims and wheel gaps. PLEASE help! But Im concerned about a couple of things .
1. the offsets, as they come in 45 and 53. We should be between 47 or 52 right? Which would be the safer pick when I go lower to tuck the wheels?
2. There are also 17x7 with a offset of 50. Which will that be easier to get to my goal?

Thanks for the replys so far guys, I am getting the camber arms soon.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

you should be fine with either 43 or 53

To corner better you actually want camber in the front wheels. When the wheel turns it turns in to the road, kind of hard to explain but I am running full negative camber on my coils. Only thing you have to make sure of is keeping the toe inline otherwise you will run in to tire wear issues. Camber doesnt wear your tires well it is a deciding factor but the toe is key

I agree, toe is key to save tire wear. But curious to know how much will the OP's toe be naturally affected when dropped? Does toe almost always have to be corrected after a change in ride height, or is it just natural adjustments that have to made in time with any vehicle?

Toe is always adjusted last as every other adjustment affects it. Lowering the car will affect camber which will throw off the toe so yes you should always do an alignment after ride hight adjustment

I see. Good to know, thanks.

[dentinger]

There is the answer! remove two lower collars adjust to bottom and you are set :P

FTFY

What kind of wear and tear am I looking at if I set the dampers to softess?
