:headbangHey, Just picked up my set of bc coils with the extreme drop :D.. hoping to get them installed soon. Want to know how stiff everyone is setting them so when I get them installed I don't have to pull the rears out to adjust them again. I want to get them installed, drop maybe 2", get the alignment done a couple weeks after and not have to touch them again till spring when I get a set of rims and do some more dropping and tweaking to get my stance down.
Thanks anyone..
Oh btw, my car is an 07 sedan, as I'm sure the weight is different from sedan to wagon.
CAN'T WAIT! :headbang

I know you're not gonna listen to me lol, but I'd wait till spring to install them. One less winter on 'em..

very true haha. I have thought about that myself... one less winter to plow through, one less winter for them to rust... but man.... coilovers! a nice stiff suspension, sweet ride height... hard to spend that much money then have them collect dust for 6 months... you only live once and you don't take your money with you.. **** it hahah

+1. I would wait until Spring as well. Just think how much sweeter the ride will be in the dryer warmer weather. Especially after winter mode

Lol I'm in the same boat as you, I was planning on not putting them on until spring, but then I was like.... Must. Have. Them. On. Now. Thinking of the great ride height that would come with it.
Then I realized (Like 5 minutes ago) my winters are 16's, and small as hell. There will be no great ride height with those.
And so, I shall be waiting until spring. Which makes me a sad panda.

All the way down, like 3 clicks away from full firm up front, 2 past middle in the rear.
All year.

Thanks Dave, I'll go for something similar.
And thanks everyone else for your opinions. You're all right and I should wait till spring.. and I am debating it as it is the sensible thing to do... however I'll have to wait and see if I can hold off. I have like a 2 week period of no work coming up and I don't think I can leave those things sitting in a box all that time knowing I have all the time in the world to go visit a shop for a couple hours any day of the week.

Still debating.. I just have a feeling that once I get this thing lowered, I probably wont do the seasonal height change, so its gonna see a couple winters like this regardless until I have it paid down/off and have the money put aside to buy a second vehicle, a truck for work. Couple low winters wont kill it. Im not putting any lip kits on it, just slammin the shit outta her as much as I can to get that stock lip down low.
wait till spring!:bang
