Stock OZ wheels. +46 offset i believe. <br />
<br />
<br />
BC came in the mail today. I only was able to install the front ones because one of the bolts is stuck in the bushing its in. Imma have to figure somthing out. As for all the other bolts and nuts that were stuck a little spray of some PB blaster and they came off easy. <br />
<br />
I have the front coils set to the hardest setting and its a little bumpy but not as much as i thought it would be. but keep in mind i have stock struts in the back. <img src="https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/crap.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Crap" smilieid="21" class="inlineimg" /><br />
<br />
Pics will come when I get the rear installed... so hopefully soon.

Sorry I should have been more specific, I meant the offset for the xxr wheels. I'm getting a similar setup hence my concern. Heard nothing but good things about the BC Racing coils so they should work out fine.

Coilovers installed! I was unable to get the bolt out so i came up with an idea and it worked. Instead of taking the bolt out I thought why dont i compress the spring and pull it out that way. I was able to rent a strut spring compressor for 50 bucks. Could only fit it on one side but it did the job. Oh and when I returned the compressor tool
I got my entire 50 bucks back. Nice surprise. I probably ruined my struts and springs but when will I ever need those again.
Here are some pics of how the car sits. The BCs can go way lower but I cant right now since my tires are so d*mn big. (195/65/15) I have the coils set at 7 all around. (1 is the hardest and 30 is the softest) The ride is alot smoother than i expected but yes it is bumpy.

To start off a month ago one of the hangers on my srs catback exhaust from ebay fell off and left a hole in the piping. I used some silicone tape to "bandaid" it for now. Holding up well so far.

As for the front I have room to go lower and for the rear it is almost as HIGH as I can get them. Fenders are rolled. Haven't pulled them. Kinda like how it sits now. There will be more pictures coming when I take them. Been too busy either driving or just staring at them.
