Got my BC Coilovers installed today!

So I got my new BC Racing Coilovers installed yesterday. They were pretty easy to install but a PITA to adjust the ride height, particurlarly the rears. I left them on the preset firmness and they ride amazingly smooth. Probably a little too soft if I'm being honest. I'll adjust it up in small increments over the next week. I snapped a few pics to show off the new stance too

Nice car...and I really like what you did with the blackout on the rear! And, the stance looks almost factory.

I've rubbed twice on the LR. I'll probably go up a turn on that corner. I'm a big dude so I've got to compensate for that

It's temporary plastidip actually

No one sells a blackout kill that covers everything, edges and all. So I PD'd it to make sure I can live with it until I pull badges etc and do it from a bulk sheet of vinyl.

Love the look of the blackout in the back. I will be honest i originally seen this picture months back and really wanted this look but with the trunk being a SS style the original blade wasn't a option, I wonder what the one at the 2015 SEMA show was done with, i assume vinyl. The one i see GM sell doesn't cover the edges as Hank said. Possible a pre-cut one will be available from one of the vendors here that will give this awesome look, worst case you can do it yourself with Vinyl without a knife close to the paint using a Knifeless Finish Line Cutting Tape they sell on Amazon ...

It looks killer, the attitude it perfect. I had BC's on my G8 and loved them. What was the cost of the package.

BC can be expensive, but nice results, congrats, I am considering H&R's for my 16 GT.

Coilovers would replace your MRC completely, so I'd advise against it. My car is non-MRC. I knew I wanted it low, so I opted out of MRC when I bought the car
