There's a few threads on here about it

Yeah I am going to get that done. I am mainly just curious why I have practically no adjustment left in my front coilovers when I am only lowered 1 7/16".

In regards to timing the bushings, I talked to BC and think I got the height thing figured out. So I lowered the fronts an additional 3/8" yesterday. My measurement from the bottom of the hub to fender with the wheel off reflected this drop. When I reinstalled the wheel and measured once the car was back on the ground, the ride height was the same as before I dropped it the additional amount...

It appears that in your coil setup you have an additional "rubber insert"?

I dont remember that when I did mine but its been so long.
On the top of the sprin I can clearly see where last coil of the spring should sit.
but there is an aditional orange looking rubber piece in between.

My car is in the Shop but I'll check when I get it back.

Funny I was just reading about that. Please let me know! That is the oem foam insulator.

Just an FYI for those that don't know. Yes you MUST REMOVE the orange oem insulator. This is per BC racing as they tested this kit on an 09 camaro.
