Hey guys, what can I do to lower my rear more? Replace the spring only? Spring and new shocks? New coils altogether?

What are your suggestions? Anything but cutting/heating springs is new info to me.

Tee's been helping me out but I was wondering if there are any other opinions out there!

How low are you trying to go? The ST coilovers should be able to put the wheels deep into the wheel wells.

Silly question but do you have the OEM rear spring carrier still installed?

o_O Really? That sucks. One alternative is to get different springs. Or you can make it an excuse to buy new coils!

Part # 10 removed is what I'm asking.

Yes they are removed already and it looks like you have had the suspension installed for a while so they wont settle any further. I suggest one of two options.

1)Contact Eibach or H&R to get a set of springs

2)Contact Harold and HP Autowerks to get a set of swift springs (Honestly, this is the route I'd probably go. He will know sizes better than if you contact the other two companies)

My worries are that it wont match the damper and blow it. But good idea, I'll give Harold a shout. Cant really trust anyone morre than him!

I don't see anything wrong with the collar

Like lowandslow said, just remove the adjuster collar

are you guys running the rubber bushing at the bottom of the spring? or is the spring just sitting in the lower perch?

The part #8 in the diagram above.

I believe mine is just sitting in the lower perch.

I am actually installing my STs today. I will let you know how mine sit.

Do you have a pic of how your car sits now?

[Delusive]

My car used to be the same height as yours the first time I installed my ST Coilovers but then I went lower and my tires are are under my wheel well now. Not all of it but some, I don't want to post pics here but if you want me to show you then I will post pics or you can just search for my thread

This is very close to maxing out. There's about... 1.5cm left.

I think ours are the same? I'm unsure. Check the pic and let me know what you think

hmm maybe try a different setup? We have installed quite a few BC racing Coilovers and the cars get really low

I am open to suggestions. Was considering used PSS10's or KW V2's, but don't know much about BC.
