XI Lowered on BC Coilovers...They do exist!

CTSSS · 03-30-2015, 07:57 AM

Just for everyone that has debated this in the past, they do indeed make BC BR Coilovers for X drive cars. Just need to special order.

wdeerfield · 03-30-2015, 08:02 AM

wow. that looks awesome! car looks great and the ride height is perfect. any major stress on the xi components being that low? front axles, sway bar end links, etc?? How is the comfort of the bc coil compared to stock?

CTSSS · 03-30-2015, 08:10 AM

Can't really comment on stress on components as I just installed this weekend, probably not good for them but gotta pay to play haha. As far as comfort its a little bumpy as would be expected but not too bad once you get the dampening settings how you like them. I would gladly have the ride a little harsher to get rid of the jarring XI stock suspension, car just feels way more planted.

Can you go any lower in the front? I just installed mine too and the front sits kinda high

CTSSS · 03-30-2015, 10:19 AM

I am bottomed out in front, wish they could go a hair lower, but I think I will happy once I dial in the alignment

SAADTHESAV · 03-30-2015, 10:26 AM

just curious, what's the difference between Eibach/H&R Springs and BC Coilovers?

mpaone23 · 03-30-2015, 10:27 AM

Looks great! Where did you special order them, and for how much?

I plan on buying coilovers within the next couple months and am debating, kw, st, and sonic tuning.

coilovers are height/dampening adjustable, whereas springs are static

I ordered from Krystian at The Coilover Store, not sure if I can post pricing but its in line with ST and sonic tuning.

ZhengHai · 03-30-2015, 12:06 PM

Looks good. Can't wait to settle some more

CTSSS · 03-30-2015, 12:45 PM

in my experience coilovers dont really settle, especially with these stiffer springs..but if the front settles ill be happy!
