This isnt completely bolt-on. If you want use of full camber adjustment up front, you have to bore out the car's strut-towers with a 3in whole-saw. If you dont, then you gotta keep removing the coilover and make your adjustments that way (very time consuming and inaccurate)
I got this for my 2002 Maxima, do you think it is possible to install these AND have wheel spacers without the tires touching the Fender ?
They guy who installed mine says its at its maximum height, but I cant fit 2 fingers between the tire and the fender... I have a feeling he didnt intall/raise it correclty..
@concujak It shouldn't be that low at maximum height. You should be able to match stock height with these. It is possible to put spacers on but there are a lot more factors than just ride height and spacers. Wheel offset, wheel width, tire height, and fenders rolled/unrolled contributes to how it looks and fits.
Is this a new design to the top hat? All the other ones I saw from BC Racing for Mazdaspeed3's are flat and the camber adjustment is not recessed in like this one.
@ryugeeh Well this is a set from our first coilover order from BC so I'm not sure what the old design looked like if there was one. I do know what you're talking about though. Depending on the vehicle some top mounts are designed differently so they will vary from application to application. Also, sometimes retailers put a generic picture in their product listing on the site that might look slightly different than the actual product for that car.
