Looks great man and 3 hours thats a lot less than what I thought did you use power tools? And how much did the coil overs run you because in still looking around for a resonable deal?

I dropped it at least a good inch and a half all around. No rubbing issues so far that I noticed and I drove it around in circles to see if I could hear anything. I'll probably still get them rolled just to be safe though

Yeah, I had a lift and power tools at my disposal. I was originally going to get these... http://www.importimageracing.com/isc...coilovers.html ...but the said they didn't make them for the RalliArt  . So they bumped me up to the BC's for no extra charge! They even threw in a free set of rear extenders  Shipping was free so I paid $950.00

Did the BC coils come with a shock dyno graph? If so could you post it?

BC Racing coilovers expirience
Hi guys
Year ago I purchased BC Racing RAM coilovers, installed coilovers in spring 2012 and just few months after they failed, both front shocks had lateral movement and very noisy on sharp bumps. I took me several months emailing back and forth ( BC Racing said: check this, check that, every time I need to go in the shop to do check up, and so on) eventually in late autumn I get first one of them, few weeks later another one RAM replacement. Installed and just recently one totally lost strength, other one is just noisy, not as much as before but not for every day riding, called BC Racing and look surprise shocks replacements do NOT come with ANY WARRANTY.
How beautiful is that
Even original warranty is voided because they do not think I have any problem,
I send car to two different shops and ask from them to write letter explaining what is happening and that didn’t help either
I know I can't expect much from $1000 shocks but this is bullshit
I would without thinking went and buy set of KW Var.2 but they do not coming with camber plates and using original plates which I sold to the friend
It is still winter I might try once more but this time BR set instead of RAM
after that I will post on You Tube how to destroy BC Racing coilovers
After all ranting about coilovers few things:
If you do not have money to buy real coilovers DO NOT waist your money with cheep once
Does anybody know what camber plate will fit to the KW Var.2 for the front and the back
Or
Does anybody know top diameter of Ralliart OEM springs and shocks again front and back
Thanks

Sorry to hear about your poor experience with BC coilovers, but thank you for taking the time to share what happened on this forum.
