BC Coilover Issue

el_macc · 03-10-2019, 12:06 PM

What's up guys I been on this forum for years I don't post much at all I usually find everything by searching. I'm new to coilovers but I just received my BC Coilover Extreme Lows and when I ordered them I know I ordered 3 bolt version. Well they sent me 5 bolt version by mistake maybe because a few days after my order I called them to upgrade to swift springs so they messed up my order and it's Sunday they're closed so I can't call them. Anyway I was wondering since only the fronts use the 3 bolts can I just swap out the top camber plates and ask them to send me the correct 3 bolt version. This way I don't have to send the whole set back cuz the set is heavy af. Also it's a rookie question but will this affect my coilover in any way by removing and replacing that top camber plate with a different 3 bolt one. Like will it mess with my settings or with the way they set them up from the factory? Also is it simple to remove and install the new one? I'm pretty sure that's the only thing different from a 3 bolt and 5 bolt coilover right? Thanx for any advice I'm really pissed cuz i waited like 3 months for these since they are custom "extreme lows" with Swift Springs and now this.

There isn't a perfect answer - unfortunately. I'd concentrate on trying to obtain the product that was ordered the first time for the right reason.

I don't really understand what you mean. Can I simply tell them to send me the correct 3 bolt camber plate and can I just remove the 5 bolt camber plate and put the 3 bolt one on my coilovers?

Ask BC. They will tell you what you can do.
