Kate from BC Racing confirmed the 228mm front springs and 178mm rears are the correct length, so we are still not sure why it won’t go any lower. Hopefully will get it figured out soon.

BC’s customer service is stellar, they always respond within a few hours and have been super helpful.

For anyone deciding on spring rates, I got the 16k/14k swift springs. They are STIFF. Almost track car stiff. I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re really willing to sacrifice ride quality for performance. They do handle like a dream, on the Colorado mountain roads it makes a 5000lb SUV feel like a go kart. Major performance upgrade, even at stock height.

I Will continue to update as things happen.

If you had to do it over again would you still go with BC's or would you bite the bullet on a set of V3's? What other spring rates do they offer?
