BC extremw low coilovers with Swift springs 12k/16k

fmoua916 · 10-25-2015, 07:24 PM

Just want to say I am very satisfied with my BC coilovers extreme low with Swift springs 12k and 16k. Drop about 1.5 inches in the front and 1.25 inches in the rear. Can go a whole lot lower maybe another 3 inches or so but i choose not to. Ride quality is very smooth and rebound is good on bigger bumps. A huge less body rolls now. I do not track my car but i do aggressive drive it around as a daily driver.

Glad to hear. I'll be looking at getting extreme lows in the future.

Yeah yeah talk like that and make me spend money

I heard a lot of stories about them not going low enough up front .. but i guess they looked into it.

They must have because I have a buddy with BC BR Type and they go pretty low so the extreme lows must have even more room to go low. I've attached a photo of his car.

Is this maxed out

I don't believe so. It's close though

I never quite understood those people who claim the standard BC coilovers not going low enough. I'm still at my "winter height" and I can barely clear certain parking lot/driveway entrances. How low do these people really expect the coilovers to go? On rails? If that's what you're looking for, get bags.

But for me, and for the money, you can't beat the BC coilovers. #ballinonabudget

So unless you wanna go bag extreme low is not necessary? What is everyone's take on swift spring? Is it good to have for daily driving?

remixsecret · 11-08-2015, 03:04 AM

How are those spring rates? Did you wish you got higher rates?

It seems like extreme low is the safe way to go if you plan to lower the car a good amount. The BR series are the safer route if you don't want to lower the car that much.

As far as swift springs go, everything I've heard from people with them is that they ride much better than the standard springs, just have to shell out an extra few hundred bucks for them.

What would be the ideal spring rate for swift spring to get for daily driving

Eschleae · 11-16-2015, 05:46 PM

how much did these run you?
