BC Racing coilover Install and review

[DarkTrak]

Just ordered the E09 coilovers, a freedom racing T6 panhard bar, 3" moroso studs and 1/2" hubcentric spacers. I'll be updating this as the parts arrive, but was looking for pointers on install, setup and adjustment for anyone familiar with this coilover system. I've never done a coilover system and don't really know what to watch out for. I'm on a time crunch when they get here so I need to keep the surprises to a minimum if possible. Any info/pointers on "DIY" alignment to hold me over till I can get it to a shop would also be greatly appreciated. So until next week when the man in the brown truck shows up....I wait.


Car is a 2011 5.0 6mt. 20x9 and 20x10 ASA MU1s. Before pics to follow.

Oh and Gavin, if you see this thread....shhhhh!! Don't tell the guys on HPM!!

Where did you get them from? I'm jut trying to get my winter shopping list together

 

[DarkTrak]

Give Emerson @ Last Call Racing a shout. Tell him Mike Fligg in Hawaii sent you his way. He's got some rather "interesting" prices. Especially for all u guys on the mainland.

YOU got a chubbin?! EYE GOT A CHUBBIN!! I can't wait! After seeing Drock's car, And how much he likes his set, I had to have them!

 

[DarkTrak]

Well there have been some delays...BC dragged their feet and now the coilovers won't even get to Emerson in Cali until Friday. Then he has to turn them around and ship them to me in Hawaii. Tis the joys of not coughing up the big bucks for fast shipping lol

The freedom racing panhard bar is scheduled for delivery this thursday though! That's a plus I guess

Subbed as well.

 

[DarkTrak]

No pointers on DIY alignments??

 

[DRock]

The alignment is cake! And the rear shocks reuse the stock upper rubber mounts but you have to cut off the stock nut and reuse the the BC one. Pm me if you need anything.

 

[DarkTrak]

Thanks D. Someone was telling me that I should also get a panhard BRACE? needed?

 

[DRock]

Not needed but it's a 100 buxs and your already this far in.

Shorty story, I got one but couldn't tell ya if it did anything

 

[DarkTrak]

Sweet. Tango

 

[DRock]

I'm interested to see what you say about the coils on a 5.0.

 

[DarkTrak]

Me too...hope the fit without much fuss..

 

[DarkTrak]

Panhard bar is "out for delivery" !!

 

[DRock]

Me too...hope the fit without much fuss..

Fitting is not what im worried about. Its the spring rates im interested in and your opinion.

 

[DarkTrak]

The aluminum panhard bar showed up yesterday with a free t shirt in the box and the total shipping weight on the box was 4 lbs!!! I dunno how much the stock one weighs but it can't be anywhere near 3-4 lbs!

 

[DarkTrak]

Who the fuck moved this to tech?? Lol That's odd....didn't think think this is even close to tech.


Anywho, coilovers left California, en route Hawaii today! Woooot!!
