    BC Coilovers for a non track car Good or bad

    Have Gen III with stock shocks and are starting to leak a little. Want to upgrade but need solid advice whether to get BC or not. Never track it and is just a toy for around town. I Do want it a little lower also. Any advice appreciated.

    Love mine...smoother ride and adjustability...Although I have never tracked them; perfect for what I wanted (and sounds like what you want)

    i have them on mine 04 mamba. 10x better than stock that started leaking at 25k on it... looks great and doesn't bounce around everywhere

    Oops! Sorry...was gonna measure for you but forgot...not sure exactly how much lower than stock...been awhile, can’t really remember, I went too low at first and it rubbed the rear wheel well liner...I think it wound up about 1-1/2” lower than stock all the way around. Rides great; much better than stock...definitely have to pay attention to driveways, speed bumps and such. The front wheels have a half inch more offset than gen 3/4. I put spacers on the rear to get the gen v wheels flush. I like the look much better, thanks!

    There V3's with off an ACR. The ride (dampers set full soft) is better that the stock shocks.

    Np. Thanks for getting back to me. I'm looking to change my shocks.
