Hi Guys,

Im trying to figure something out either some advice on making sure my Bc

Coilovers i have bought second hand are fine and dandy. I had a local friend

of the family who does some work on vehicles install my BC Coilovers and had

them fitted.


They were second hand and already adjusted from the car they were on; anyway

after a bit of time we got them on the car with the rear set on first as

they were seperate springs and shocks. Seemed to sit okay and then installed

the front coilovers. Again seemd okay.


The height looked good on how it sat. Went for a drive and over certain

bumps i get a tap like noise. Almost like the BC Racing Coilovers are

bottoming out.


Anyone have any advice on these on what i need to check? I have set the

damper adjustments one click from hard from the rear and 18 from soft on the

front.

I also need to get camber set up and geometry set up but want to make sure

these are set up right for general road and some track day use.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Car is a fors Focus ST 2010 Model
Coilover kit is BC Racing BR Series.


Also if you know of anywhere that i can take it in Manchester to check out

the set up to make sure its right this might be easier. Thanks!

Ok will try the top nut alternativley i been told by a garage they are adjustable and may need to be longer; does anyone know what the height should be of the damper? should it be the same as the origonal dampers?
