Damn! That's low... You'll need suspension mods and plan to eat tires with that much negative camber.

Yes sir. But I plan to address that

if you want to be that low, you would be better off getting air suspension.

No tuck, only zero gap. The front using H&R springs have zero gap and I'd like the rear as the same.

Gonz, I'm in the same boat as you. I like how the front of my car sits on H&R's but I'm not a fan of the rear gap and the pronounced rake.

A guy on the 997 Enthusiasts Facebook page also agreed and he said he had his indi shop notch his rear shocks to bring it level. I didn't follow up on that as I'd like the adjustment aspect of coil overs.

Interesting... I have Bilstein B8's on mine and the rears have adjustable perches. I tried to order a pair of new perches directly from them, so my buddy who's a machinist could produce me "hat" style ones. But they wouldn't sell them.

my INDY shop didn't install what i want, "overkill" for street was their opinion. Maybe mine already is lowered with aftermarket springs.

This shop is very reputable in DFW area.

I just ordered the BC Racing coil over set and terrific deal with no shipping: $1250

Can't wait to get rid of the gap and rake - zero gap on tap.

Next will be the Work Meister S1 3P, black centers. :D Just wish they didn't take so dang long :-/

Good to hear, looking forward to hearing feedback and seeing it. LMK If you're ever in Austin.

Thanks and will do.

Regretfully, my company is transferring me to OKC on 3/31/15. I used to live in Austin and loved it there. Move there from San Antonio, then back again. Before that 17 years in St. Paul, MN, and before that Tampa/Clearwater, FL. I love TX and especially Hill Country. I'm hoping to score another position down the road here and move back.

metric91 03-15-2017 08:09 PM

Oh man, well best of luck to you with your move. I'm in San Antonio monthly for work and love Austin. Went from Southern California, to Miami and now in Austin.

BC coilovers are a quality suspension. I ran them when I had my E46 M3. Great coilover for the street and BC is one of the biggest coilover manufacturers in the world.

myw 03-16-2017 02:29 PM

the nsx guys have raved about BC coilovers for years + years.

i had spoken to tim at bc years ago as i wanted a set of their coilovers provided they offered pasm support - to those of you that are ordering, do they offer pasm support?

Ride quality is perfect for street and much improved over the OE shocks they replaced. No harshness. BC nailed the spring rates and valving for a great balance on street driven cars. Much less body roll and handling is night and day.

My OE shocks had blown out the bump stops but had yet to leak any fluid. Both compression and rebound were compromised somewhat from new.
