Mine is a bit higher that that, its all the way raised almost. But it still rubs. The shocks should have no effect on the height, just the stability of the spring, which I can tell mine is definitely moving a bit. The tire is rubbing the fender liner, there is not even room for a finger between the tire and the liner.


Picture looks a bit high but the angle of the shot makes it look like that.

Is there an update on the rattle issue? Has BC said anything about a fix, exchange, REFUND?

This whole BC Coilover crap is getting very old... Hopefully this is a lesson learned for those that jumped on the BCs. This is what you get for jumping on the first out... Quality Issues! If I had BCs on my G right now, I'd be pissed and ripping that **** off my car.

I'm done... Will not discuss further.

Remember how you changed the heights on it? When you first drove home from Sharif's, did you hear the rattle at all? Or did it start after you adjusted it (raised it)?

you guys should try driving around with your rear seat let down.. you should be able to hear the sound better then, and maybe get a better idea of what it could be

i'd buckle the rear seat belts in too if you try it

Rattle was there when Sharif Test Drove it after install... We thought it was the other suspension parts in the trunk or my amp that was loosely mounted in the tire well... but... it never went away....

I am going to try that right now on my way home for work, yay to the 1 hour commute and bumpy roads.

EDIT: Nope nothing, same sound with the seat down and seat belts covered in shirts. I am going to try removing the sub box next and see maybe that's the cause.

That will also help me raise the car a bit, because the rubber piece on the bottom is so thin, these springs are meant to be put on this, not the stock rubber piece I think.

And they look like they would fit fine if you look in this picture, they are not flat on the bottom, they are shaped just like the rubber piece.
My dining room table strikes again!!
