Dunno at his height, but I'm running a 10.5 +5 in the rear and 10.5 +30 clears in the front no problem.

Is it just me or is your rear camber a bit messed up? I understand this may be normal with such a large drop, but if you value your tires, you might want an adjustment.

So you have the handling of a true coilover, with the towing ability of the bag still.

Wheels are 20x11 +30 square.
Wait, so I don't have to delete my SLS to install these coilovers?! I hope you're still active on the forums and can help me out because I just got my BR Type setup a few days ago.

Man that looks great!
Was wondering one of these days if I could fit 315's on the front as well without issues.

M5james.... this is 7serious from the other board. I sold you the HR'S for your 740 years ago. I just got my BC Racing coilovers last week also. I'm installing them this weekend. I'm using the Romanian software to set the ride height of the bags. PM me bro! SORRY FOR THREAD JACKING.

I'm running iForged 20's w/ 275/40 up front and 315/35 in the rear. I don't understand why someone would wanna go so wide in the front

Reducing understeer. Ability to rotate tires. General badassery.

Maybe it's the drop but his wheels up front do not appear to be as wide. 315's require the additional front fender flare to look correct.
