Random upgrade

Out of the blue i realized i'm getting old and wanted a smoother and more comfortable ride.

That, and get back to having a linear rate spring (the rear BC's aren't linear) while lightening things up at the same time.

So...







I'm excited to see how much of a difference this will make in ride quality and transitional response.

You replaced your BC coilovers with these altogether or just swapped out the BC springs for these?

Just the springs (from 12/8 to 10/6) and rear bucket adapters. The dampers are the same.

Yep, plus the front is actually one coil less compared to the BC spring. Same height and less spring rate.

Haven't measured the BC's yet but will report back as soon as i can.
