Hi tm3


I recently purchased a set of BC coilovers , and im just wondering what settings members are using. Height? Camber on front tires? Dampening? Right now im running on 18x8.5 +45, no camber kit, and no rolled fenders either. All in all basically I'm asking what settings should I run to achieve no wheel gap without rubbing etc.


Thanks!

Setting up the coils is more of a trial and error kinda deal. One person's settings may not work for you due to:

1. Vehicle weight (contents, passengers, etc.)
2. Tires. Even though you're running a set of tires in a specific size (ex. 225/40/18) like another member, some brands may have thicker sidewalls than others.
3. Driving environment. Is your most driven route smooth or bumpy?

Good luck.

I drive all the way down with almost full hard.

It's not for everyone.

The majority of my driving is around Newmarket & aurora with an everyday commute to Barrie for school, so I guess I do spend quite a bit of time in the car. I'm not worried about stiff I need to make the Ride because I'm still used to my 99 jeep tj's suspension lol. I've heard the aph will do the Install + lowering and adjustment for around 200. But I prefer to wrench on my own car when I have the chance! Oh and as well I'm running falken 912's left that part out

Front: All the way down. +22 stiff. Camber is moved one setting over on the positive side at stock settings.

Rear: Not sure of the drop, but slightly tucking the rear. +22 stiff. Eibach camber kit has me at stock settings.

- Running 18x8 +46 on 225/40/18
- Front has custom fender liners / custom constructed wells
- Rear has been rolled

Thanks! That's awesome advice! As our tire dimensions are fairly similar.

What did you have to do to your wells? I was reading your thread about your original

problem, but I never saw a solution! Lol
