Dude so I just bought this exact same kit on lethal performance & it came with the height adjuster on top ! Was really convinced that lethal sent me wrong kit so they had me email BC directly & according to BC there starting to send there kits out like that to accommodate the linear spring adaptor on the bottom
Just a tip on the rear shock length adjustment.. Install the adjustable height springs and go ahead and install the top of the shocks inside the trunk area.. slip the lower end of your shock onto the mounting point, and finger tighten the lower mount but don't tighten it down just yet. Install your wheels and tires and get your ride height adjusted with the springs. Now, with the car sitting on a level flat surface at ride height, go under the car and slip the bottom of the shock off the mounting point.. if your shock has 5 inches of travel, you should adjust the length of the shock body so the eye of the lower mounting point on the shock hangs about two inches below the mounting stud on the car.. This will give you three inches of compression and two inches of rebound on your shock travel. If you don't do this step, you can actually experience bottoming out of the shock or in the other extreme, little to no rebound.
I believe I had a mistake filming that part, I dont think i showed it how it should of been, bushing under, and over instead of double stack like you said.
I apologize for this late reply, I do give them a good review, They perform just as imagined for the price and they're my first set of coil overs ever so its my only experience. They ride real well depending how you set the dampening built in and options of raising it and slamming it.
Best way to go for suspension on these is pick up a pair of front coilovers throw lowering springs on the back the rear are a headache not worth it there’s no weight in the rear anyways lowering springs won’t have bad ride quality seems like the spring perches are to short 40/18s on the rear and at 2/3 to top on the perch it digs into the tire
So just to clarify, at 7:09 when you installed the shock, both rubber bushings go on the underside and just the washer and bolt on top? It wouldn’t be one bushing on top and another on the bottom?
I had 275s upfront when i first got my coil overs (Previous owner) so I went down to 255’s and wasn’t rubbing the inside of the tire. It’s probably the tire size I had to run spacers till I got smaller tires
@@Thatlowdsg gotcha. I’ll prob have to run spacers because I’ve got 275 upfront. I won’t make that mistake again 🤦🏻♂️ Did the spacers do alright upfront, any issues?
The rear I have problems with mine my spring won’t sit on the mount when the car is jacked up it just pops out but it goes back into place when it’s not jacked
I had the same issue. I didn’t realize it was a problem till after posting this. I was going to do a review and mention you will need adjustable lower rear control arms with a adjustable spring perch, my best option is to buy SR performance or find a good cheap lowering spring it’s what I did and I’m still runnin the SRS 4k miles later still nice and smooth,
Installing these coilovers as we speak, do you not use the factory camber bracket that sits ontop of the body of the car to give the nuts some added structure to grab onto?
If you’re talking about using the factory caster plates no these coil overs come with the caster plate mounted to them you won’t use any factory hardware except the 2 bolts holding it into the knuckle
@@Thatlowdsgyeah I know they come with the built in caster/camber plates, I’m talking about the stock bracket that is riveted to the car. I didn’t know if you could reuse it for the coilovers to bolt to for added support. I installed mine with it today and it doesn’t seem to limit any adjustment for the caster/camber plates🤷🏻♂️
I have installed these same coilovers and for some reasons my rear height is super lifted instead of dropped! I’m not too sure where or if I made a mistake. I can send pictures or whatever, I just need some advice haha
Dm me on Instagram @thatlowdsg. Ive been making changes to it so theres no posts or anything but feel free to dm about it and ill try to get back soon!
It’s the springs they come with, I didn’t find out till after that you need adjustable lower control arms to raise the perch on them. I threw a set of lowering springs on the rear and that fixed it. I didn’t mention it in the video cause I found out afterwards.
SR performance. Had eibachs in the vid but parted them out just a week after i installed the coil overs. The SR ones have held up good but AM doesn’t sell just rear sets anymore…
Just lowering springs then you can leave your factory lower control arm. Keep the BC springs & perch etc if you ever upgrade the lower arm with an adjustable perch design.. I wish I would’ve known this before but live and learn.
When you installed these did your car bounce? My car bounces way to much I just got them, tried to fine tune, doesn’t help much thinking about ripping them out and selling them, not what I was looking for
Thatlowdsg let me know how you achieve this, cause from everyone I have talked to on forums all said Bc racing is shit ride quality and do have bounce, even trying to adjust the rebound don’t work well, should have researched a bit more before buying these things, gonna pull them and post them on a sale Facebook page, gonna go with KW or something made proper like maximum Motorsports or qa1, bc racing is cheap Chinese coilovers liek megan racing, sad time say cause I had high hopes for them picked them over kw cause the price was 800 cheaper
@@Thatlowdsg I asked this question because both of them are almost the same price, really I got confused between of them but I think I will go BC Racing 🏁
Be aware* with these Bc coils you need to have adjustable rear lower control arms. Or adjustable perches at that. The spring is too short on them I had to use lowering springs and the bc shock. Which is adjustable so you can still drop the car to desire. I didn’t find this out till after, but just a heads up.
Yeah It comes with them mounted to the top of the coil over, camber & caster adjustable. I believe don’t quote me on this but you can only use the BC caster for them not BBK or any other brand. Hope this helps
Kind of, I took it to a shop in the city that had good rep with modded cars but they screwed it up. So I did the rest at home, any good reputable shop shouldn’t have an issue.
To be fair, I haven’t gotten it aligned and really given it a good test; However I did take it down the street (curvy road) and it cornered really well really responsive! The ride quality was definitely a nice upgrade too especially with the 30 clicks of adjustable damping!
Yes, I believe it could even go higher than stock. However the rear springs if you want them close to stock height you’d have to buy adjustable lower control arms.. honestly if you’re going for close to stock I’d buy a nice set of shocks and springs in my opinion
@@Thatlowdsg I've been looking for decent springs, stock height but a bit stiffer. But the only thing I can find is lowering springs. I might manage with bullitt springs since those don't lower the car much. But they might be a bit stiff for a daily.
For your specific K-member, did you HAVE to change your OEM struts (Front) for coil overs. Im looking for one and for some you do. I have a 2004 v6 OEM.
For my AJE they say you can use the factory struts & springs but recommend a coil over set up, but you still have the option to use the factory suspension if needed
I ran across this same issue.. was reading forums saying adjustable lower control arms will help so I’ll have a future install video over those. As for them seeming “to short” I did my best to align them till I get my fenders rolled then I plan on slamming the rear. It looks like they dont sit as properly but I haven’t had any issues with mine, hope this helps!
You can feel everything on the road. Totally different experience. Feels way more planted and responsive steering. Ride quality probably is 8.5/10 id say!
@@Thatlowdsg thanks for the reply..Also I ordered Saleen wheels 18x10 in the rear I have to get tires, in ur opinion what is the widest I can go without rolling fenders?? I see u have had a couple different sets of wheels on new edge was wondering if u could answer this question for me??
Depending on how high/low you’ll have the car. 285’s is what im running, and before my coils i had eibach lowering springs and they rubbed a tiny bit. Wasn’t noticeable but after the coils and dropping it i needed the fenders rolled. Just depends on how you’re gonna have the car sit but 275’s would be the safe option!
@@Thatlowdsg ya I’m getting eibach sportlines delivered today with wheels I wanted to go 295 and try to avoid rolling, but if those will rub I may just go 305 and roll fenders.. Thank you I’ve been looking for this answer for months.. Your awesome at what u do give ur grandfather love from me, I will recommend anyone with questions to ur channel, thanks for the quick reply.. Also did u roll ur fenders and do u have any tips or info on it??
Im glad I could help you out, 305’s time to send it! I didn’t roll my fenders I had a professional buddy of mine do it locally. There’s a ton of good tutorial videos on here though so you could probably pick up a roller kit yourself and give it a shot! Best of luck and much appreciation from the fam!
Sorry on the later reply, but yes I believe you can through the shocks having adjustability. I believe it would riase the rear end or lower it only a little tho.
You can adjust the ride height by the rear spring collar, I also just found out the rear shocks can be adjusted too So im not sure if that will raise the rear end up lowering the body as well im not sure yet I just discovered it yesterday.
Yeah man my tag is @thatlowdsg ! And up front I got 12K and rear isn’t customizable due to the live rear axle but I would’ve liked to got 8k it comes stock 5k rear.
Question or statement? If a question yes once you support the rear end and safely remove the shock you can safely remove the spring by dropping the jack slowly.
See i was under the influence before i started on my buddys car nd i tried installing the front coils w the old spring still in 😭 then i remembered ur removed ur lower arm to get the spring out then i rewatched ur vid nd i was able yo get the spring out loosing the endlink nd took it out was fun getting the ride height 2 finger gap in front nd 1 in the rear
You should get yourself a half inch Milwaukee m18 impact bro lol. I got one and a 3/8” gun and two 5.0 ah batteries for a little under $500. I use them tools more than my own pecker to piss!

Very nice. Good that the BCs have the camber plate built in to them.

Question why didn't you remove the top bushing on the rear coilover and put it inside the trunk instead of leaving them double stacked on the bottom
I believe I had a mistake filming that part, I dont think i showed it how it should of been, bushing under, and over instead of double stack like you said.
Thanks for another video and keep them professional.
Glad you liked another, thanks for tuning in!!
where did you buy the coilovers? I have a 1994 mustang gt
I bought them off a site called coil over depot. Part number is E-10-BR
After 10 months would you give these a good review like is it still as comfortable as day one does it Make sounds how's are they doing
I apologize for this late reply, I do give them a good review, They perform just as imagined for the price and they're my first set of coil overs ever so its my only experience. They ride real well depending how you set the dampening built in and options of raising it and slamming it.

the bushing is supposed to be on top, like stock.
i thought i was the only one who saw that
That's what i thought too
I might get a pair,. I want an inch and a half drop on my Mustang but are these good for street use?
I’ve only used them on the street & they perform well. The build quality is great for they you pay!
Looks like I know what I’m getting next summer lol
Did you have fitment issues upfront? My coilovers are touching my tire 😩
I had 275s upfront when i first got my coil overs (Previous owner) so I went down to 255’s and wasn’t rubbing the inside of the tire. It’s probably the tire size I had to run spacers till I got smaller tires

@@slaydenseymore8974 had them on for about 2.5-3 years then the wheel bearings went out, I wouldn't make it a long term thing
@@Thatlowdsg Word, just curious what thickness did you go with?
@slaydenseymore8974 I believe they were just 1” but 1.25 would be safe too

Are you going to leave it cambered? I feel it would look better flush.
I’m going to set it to a very small amount of camber but nothing crazy. Almost flush. Still deciding on what however.
I have installed these same coilovers and for some reasons my rear height is super lifted instead of dropped! I’m not too sure where or if I made a mistake. I can send pictures or whatever, I just need some advice haha
Dm me on Instagram @thatlowdsg. Ive been making changes to it so theres no posts or anything but feel free to dm about it and ill try to get back soon!
So I installed these the other day and the rear just seem to sink a lot under pressure (like backing into a driveway with the rain curb)
It’s the springs they come with, I didn’t find out till after that you need adjustable lower control arms to raise the perch on them. I threw a set of lowering springs on the rear and that fixed it. I didn’t mention it in the video cause I found out afterwards.
@@Thatlowdsg what lowing springs did you use ?
SR performance. Had eibachs in the vid but parted them out just a week after i installed the coil overs.

Just lowering springs then you can leave your factory lower control arm.
Keep the BC springs & perch etc if you ever upgrade the lower arm with an adjustable perch design.. I wish I would’ve known this before but live and learn.

Great job with the car
