Tops of struts
My car has BC Racing coilovers on it. Should the tops of the struts be flush with the body or should they stick up a bit? My top parts are above the body.

Tops of struts
Pretty normal for lowered cars, mine are like that with 1” drop springs. There’s been other threads about this also and everyone said it’s normal.

Yeah they are supposed to stick out like that so they can move around when suspension flexes.

Normal, if you want to get rid of that you will have to switch to a camber/caster plate top mount

It doesnt bother me the way it looks or anything. Was just making sure there was nothing wrong I have to worry about. Thanks for all the replies.

I'd get the top plate. I'd feel very uncomfortable having the nut and threaded shaft mere millimeters away from the underside of the hood sheetmetal.

These Moreno Plates were one of the best Mods I did - allows for a perfect, and adjustable, vehicle alignment, specifically dialing in more Caster which you can't get with the stock set-up.
Aggressive Street settings are recommended based on an average drop of 1 inch: Front: Camber to -1.0 degrees caster 7.4 to 7.8 degrees (requires adding Pedders Caster eccentrics or CAMBER/CASTER Plates to get into this range of caster, which is very beneficial. Toe: .1 degrees toe out each wheel. This amount of toe out will reduce tire scrub and understeer, and will not add to tire wear. Rear Camber to -.5 degrees. Reducing the camber to this level will reduce understeer. With a 1 inch drop or lower, you may not obtain this number without Pedders rear camber eccentrics (but I was able to get -0.6 WITHOUT these, with the Bolt Cams maxed out.) Toe to .05 degrees toe in each wheel. |
