I have the 62.150.010 on my rears. It's too damn high. I am going to keep researching and see if I can send my stuff in to swap, or do it myself.

[BC Racing NA]

Hello everyone.

My name is Sam from BC Racing NA. We have gotten a large influx of customers requesting an extreme drop setup for the rear of your 7th generation celicas. I would like to inform you all that we are currently testing a setup and working with Mr. grooms to confirm a setup to be released to the public.

I would like to clear up some points while I am here. The reason the drop is inadequate for some of you guys is simple. Our kits are all produced and tested overseas by our headquarters. Unfortunately we do have to take into account when making a kit, that not every customer wants to be as low as possible. In fact, most of the regions outside of the US that we sell to are only looking for a conservative drop due to road conditions, snow, etc. This means that our kits are built with a certain conservative measure as to fit the general need of the public. We are always willing to modify our kits for our customers to suit their specific needs and tastes.

Since we have seen a large need come up recently for an increased drop in the rear, we are currently working toward that solution for you guys to add to our extreme drop setups.

If you guys have any specific questions, feel free to contact me at: Tech@bcracing-na.com. I will be sure to answer any of your questions as quickly as possible.

Please note that it is very difficult for myself or any other of my technical support staff to keep an eye on this thread so the best way to get in contact with us will be through email.

Thank you for your time and continued support.

You guys should also make shorter struts for the front so we dont cut into the boot

[Zackbrands]

For those of us who received the kit that doesn't go as low as we would like. (Such as myself)

Can we get some sort of "Core Charge" for the components we will be swapping out? (Mine are still practically new!)

I know that if I replace the components, I am going to have the 'incorrect' ones left over, and I doubt anyone wants to buy them...

Core Charge would be super helpful!

(I am also sending an email to that address)

Thank you!

AHHHH how do I get your springs?

My springs arrived at the vendor and they 62-140-010, I didn't want the 10kg springs

Apparently BC don't make a 140mm spring in anything less than 10kg spring rate.

The Mazda MX-5 170mm insert is valved at 6kgmm so bah

I havent paid anything yet.

Just wondering how did you get a 62-130-006 spring? And how do I order one? I was told 130mm was not available... Has your gear arrived yet?

I wonder if I should just ask for the 170mm insert to be valved at 10k, would it bad to have 6k/10k setup??

Grooms did you receive the 120mm spring?

[groomsxxx]

Im not allowed to say anything at all. but I can tell you that I did the install today and got some measurements and have to do the rest tomorrow. then im sending that info over to BC. yall will be updated soon.

[jcam083]

any update???

[groomsxxx]

I gave the info to BC Racing. But I still cant say anything yet.

[Zackbrands]

I emailed them a while back as well. Also not allowed to say anything. But I haven't heard back from them for a while.

I guess bumping for updates....?

[groomsxxx]

Like I said I gave them info. so I dont know when they will make the release.

[Zackbrands]

I emailed their tech support too, asking for an update. Hopefully they get back to me soon. That was about 2 weeks ago =/

[dsim93]

Yeah I ordered some BC's on June 20th and they didn't come in until recently because they told me they were rebuilding the coilovers for the Celica, the ones I have can go as low as anyone would ever want em too, I received the test version and they feel absolutely great, they told me they will start being produced very soon

[groomsxxx]

Yep, I was the tester. they sent me a new rear spring and new shorter shock setup..I assembled it and did some measurements and such.

[Xtra Big Kahuna]

Did you test a new front insert? Or just rears?

[pandemonium]

I really hope they'll let people swap for the updated versions.

That would be really neat. I got mine in April and was a little disappointed to find that they didn't go as low as I wanted them to. I doubt they would do that though, but that would be awesome if they did.

[pandemonium]

Yeah I just got mine in June as well. I don't necessarily want to run super low right now, but I will later when I can afford the setup I want.

We're all screwed now from the vendors we bought from because we've installed the product. BC direct is really our only hope.

Hey BC rep, read this! We love you! Just want moar low!

These! I can't wait any longer!!!

[groomsxxx]

yeah tested rears. nothing was being done with front as they will already go way low. But yeah, I tested new rears shocks and such. Im on a widebody too which has higher arches then the stock fender well and I still go wayyy down. its going to be perfect.

[Zackbrands]

On a side note, I have the BC Kit. Everyone says that the fronts will drop low enough. On my driver side - i have maybe 2-3mm more before it is maxed out, passenger side, a lot more (I measured and adjusted until both fenders were the same distance from the top of my rim). Even with the one side almost maxed out, My front end sits about 4-6inches off the ground, that is the stock 00-02 bumper.

My rear end is not on the Extreme Low kit...yet..haven't heard anything about them selling it to me.

My only guess is that it is because I am on 18in wheels. (Even though I have seen others slammed on 18's..)

Any suggestions?

[TRT_Performance]

Any updates on this??? I got mine back in may from jmauto and and my rear springs are 62.140.010. Maxxed out and my car looks like a effing rubicon.

[Bitter]

Mine are great, I have them UP from the max low and it's perfect. Remember side to side it's going to sit different because of the transmission and fuel tank.

[TRT_Performance]

Anyone have any updates??

[TRT_Performance]

Bumping this again. Any updates on the rear struts? groomsxxx???
