If you are a supporting vendor I think all you have to do is post a new thread with the title "group buy" in it. Not entirely sure though...
BC Coilovers - Install
We are waiting on our custom set of BCs to arrive. I bumped up the rates and valving to 6K Fr and 4K Rr. I was thinking about 5K rears but we'll try this first. BC standard rates are 5K/3K. A bit light in the rear.

is it possible to retain stock ride height with this setup? i run ground controls (custom setup not hack-a-strut) on my WRX and i can get very close to stock ride height with that setup which i need due to some dirt roads i drive on. ground control struts have a collar that you can adjust ride height with.
A half inch more for me and im happy. Not looking for a tuck but for a flush look maybe 1 finger gap. But im afraid my 205 45 series will rub. Maybe if i push the wheels out more with spacers? What you think Joe?

I agree -- the members asked you to create this. I don't see a problem continuing the discussion here while we sort it out.If you are a supporting vendor I think all you have to do is post a new thread with the title "group buy" in it. Not entirely sure though...
I'd go with stock ride height too. I may have missed it, but I posed a similar question related to effective travel.is it possible to retain stock ride height with this setup? i run ground controls (custom setup not hack-a-strut) on my WRX and i can get very close to stock ride height with that setup which i need due to some dirt roads i drive on. ground control struts have a collar that you can adjust ride height with.
Are the inverted shock bodies and remote reservoirs available too? Do we have the room for this?Its 30way adj, front and rear. Ride height adjustable without changing spring preload and camber adjustable via spindle. Rodney's kit shipped today
SWEET now send up some warm temps too so we can install and road test this bad boy setup ...Its 30way adj, front and rear. Ride height adjustable without changing spring preload and camber adjustable via spindle. Rodney's kit shipped today
Rod you are installing these your self? How soon after you receive them will you? Hope you can give review after some good ol spirited driving.

That reminds me to ask the SOCAL group -- anyone want to have an "installation party"? It sounds like we can knock out the coil-over sets in a couple hours each. I don't have power tools, but I have the space and necessary tools. My old favorite alignment shop is gone. Anyone have a local recommendation?Ya ill be doing the install but will need to take it someplace to get the alignment set.. Not sure when ill be doing it as i am not a big fan of working in the cold wet winter garage LOL
I would avoid an installation party...I want whoever is installing my suspension to focus and concentrate to make sure everything is put back correctly.

This is really the perfect kind of group gathering, it's easy work and fun to hang out. Build camaraderie and save a few bucks What could go wrong? 
Seriously, it's a comfort level thing, and a piece of cake with a little experience under your belt. If I had more time, I'd do all the work on my car, every time. About the only thing I won't tackle is welding! When the zombies come, sure, but not until then!
We can even eyeball and measure the alignment good enough to get to the shop. This, a brake upgrade, exhaust, cold air intake, and similar are perfect candidates.

Right, I'm wondering the same thing. We need to know who's committed to being in, what they want, and what our final price will be.So whats up with this group buy? Did it go over 7 yet? Whats the minimum amount of heads to play an order?

Since I suggested it, I'll start a thread. If a moderator wants it somewhere else, please let me know.
The install is very straight forward - actually almost too easy. Just remember not to go crazy with the camber. Although the BCs dont have camber plates (no room exists under the strut mount), the upright attachment is slotted and you can get over -2.5. Way too much for the street. Use the settings I posted on the first page and the hints/tips.
Keep in mind the BCs allow for much wider wheels and tires since they dont extend as far outboard as the stock struts/spring perches. So your concern about rubbing wont even be a problem. There is probably enough room to run 17x9s if you wanted. << dont quote me.
Tomorrow I hit the track with these.
Lets start a list - who is in?

Great - I will move this conversation over there
What kind of wheels are those? They look awesome on the car!!We would need a min of 7 for a group buy.
Street performance, we can do the exact setup I run on mine. Drop up to -2" With excellent balance and ride quality. Big advantage over stock
Street/Strip performance - for those who want more rotation in the back by increasing the valving to match the spring rates.
Autox/Race - 50% Street - We'll go up 70% over street performance with matching valving. Quicker turn in
There is no additional cost for any of the choices above. Its an average of 3 weeks after the buy in to get the sets finished. We've sold now well over 60 sets of BCs without a single warranty issue. Going on 5 years now.
