Was it an issue with the bumpstops? I'm still leaning towards the spring. Do you have lca relo brackets?

 

[DarkTrak]

Not the bump stops, not the spring. I haven't touched the LCA's

 

[DarkTrak]

[Dreadknought]

[Dreadknought]

I give up. I dont know of anymore moving pieces.

 

[DarkTrak]

Well....it was the gold lock ring on the passenger side shock body. It was unscrewed about halfway up the shock.

 

[Dreadknought]

I thought the shock bodys didnt have a collar as the springs sit on a separate perch.

if anyone wants to see how low these will go, Im pulling the rear collars and matching the front to that for SEMA.

How long have you guys had your BC coilovers (time + mileage)? I recently moved to an area with tons of potholes and I'm worried about longevity of the shocks. I've had them before on other cars but the roads were much less brutal.

 

[DRock]

Almost a year.....probably 11k miles.......and a track day

You're located in SoCal right? SD? I know SD has super nice roads. If you can imagine potholes and uneven pavement worse than downtown LA, then that's what I'm looking at dealing with. Think they'll survive? I know replacement shocks from BC are cheap, I've had to do it before but I'd rather not go through the hassle and get a solid kit to begin with.

With that said, do you mind firing me a PM on where and for how much you got the BC's?

I'm assuming you guys are all running the BR series.
