Yeah, my rear wheels need a camber kit. The front took most of the alignment (all in green) but I can tell they are not perfectly straight, but they say it's not good to have them perfectly straight, don't know why...doesn't make sense to me...


Well megam make rear lower control arms and rear toe arms that are fully adjust able. Yeah the alignment place says you want some negative for handling. I told them no on Briars car and her rear wheels are wearing perfect.

Well Seems all is on Back order. I got BC coilovers. They are one street away from where I work in Longwood. Should be in around the 20th. I'm only doing Megan Arms for camber not toe and they are back ordered till middle of next month. Seem like no one has items in stock any more. Every thing is made to order practically.

Well I finally got my order in. It was nice going to the manufacturer / distributer and not dealing with a middle man. Just drove today and picked them up. I'll install this weekend.

- 30 levels of damping force adjustment

- Pillowball mounts and adjustable camber plates included*

- Adjustable rear camber plates available

- Separate Full length height adjustable

- Inverted and Non-Inverted setups

- One year warranty

- Rebuildable

*Fronts, where applicable

Technical

- Coilovers use 46mm pistons and 53mm shock housings, the enlarged shock cartridges with specially designed pistons and rods provide a wide range of damping force.

- Valves are constructed of special spring steel, which outperforms stainless steels and produces longer valve life. Valve stacks use a patented deflective system to provide more precise control.

- Patented concave lower locking ring, to prevent unseating

- Springs are made of SAE9254 high strength, durable steel. Compression tested at over 500,000 times with less than 5% deformation

- T6061 Aluminum utilized in spring locks and seats for high strength and lightweight

- Iron lower brackets on MacPherson struts to ensure rigidity

- Piston rods are constructed of highly polished steel to lengthen oil seal life and prevent leaking

- High pressure inner rod guide seals ensure a perfect fit for consistent fade resistant damping and long shock life.

- 2 step coating process utilizing nickel and chromium plating to prevent corrosion

- Newly developed lubricant oil in all shock cartridges minimizes aeration and cavitation.

- An additional bearing beneath each pillowball mount provides a smooth action and prolongs the life of the pillowball itself.

- Each BC damper is individually dyno tested before leaving the factory, making sure each damper is matched to within 5%,

ensuring an equal balance in handling. OEM standards are 13% in comparison.

Front Spring = 8K
Rear Spring = 6k
