amazing, I have mine set on the softest setting and been driving it the past few days over the sucky NY,CT roads and the dampening is awsome. These things suck up all the bumps in the road really well. They feel a little more firm then stock, but not like teeth jarring or anything.

I am getting an alignment next friday and then I will really start loading the miles on. It feels like you can actually feel the road now, where are the stock setup was squishy (only word I could think of right now).

I've never run mine at full soft, only at 5 clicks from soft. I'll have to try it. Very happy with these coilovers, they do a great job for the money.

we got the new prototype rear camber plates in today from BC Racing. These arent on the market yet so we are trying them out for BC. install was pretty simple with just the supplied tools(preload adjusting wrenches, 6mm allen), 14mm wrench, and a 17mm wrench. everything bolted up perfectly except i had to move the outside allen head bolts to the inside because they were hitting on the fender hole.

first you will want to mark your current preload position for the spring. we used some fashionable pink finger nail polish to mark the spot.

these are the wrenches that are included with the coilovers to adjust the spring preload. loosen the lower one first, then proceed with the second. loosen them enough to take all pressure off the spring so you can begin taken the plate/tophat off.

these are the wrenches you'll need. this is the stock non-adjustable BC Racing tophats. first step will be taken the dampener adjuster off and the main nut the holds the plate on. when you get the dampener adjuster off you will expose a 6mm allen..this is used to hold the stud still while taking off the 17mm nut.

next you will want to slide off the collar that sits around the stud. once the collar is off you can slide the plate off.

here is a pic of the plate completely off. now we will start to install the new adjustable camber plates.


put the new camber plate on. then slide collar back around the stud. tighten down the 17mm nut. you will need to use the allen wrench again to hold the stud from spinning. reinstall the dampener adjuster with your 14mm wrench.

now the camber plate is completely installed. while trying to put the coilver onto the car i noticed that one of the small allen bolts was hitting on the side of the fender hole.

to solve this problem you need to move both outside allen bolts to the middle slot.


this is what the allen bolts should look like once moved over.


now the coilover will slide back up into the fender and bolt right in with the 3 12mm nuts that hold the coilver to the fender.

Hope that helps all of you out that will be doing this mod in the future when these plates come onto the market.

Those are available to the public already. I have them on my car right now. I ordered my BC racing coilovers with them and they came alread installed. I'll see how the mechanic likes them next week when I get the alignment done. But they look awsome.

hmm, thats interesting. i wonder if there is something new to these ones that i installed. BR rep definitely said these were prototypes.

just got off the phone with BC. these are prototypes for the GC only...the GDs are already out. i'm assuming you have a GD ??
