BC Coilover adjustment for 2017 Ford Fiesta ST

[@panosvougiou]

Great video! I wanna put the same coilovers to my regular fiesta, but I want to maintain the stock height (regular cars should be higher that STs), do you think I can get them up to the stock height? Also, how is the ride quality of the car? Personally I am looking for a sport oriented but still comfortable road setup, can these coilovers do that?

Thank you! You should be able to get close to the stock height. The rear coilovers don't have as much adjustment as the fronts but it should still be close to the height that you would want. These coilovers have a dampening and rebound knob on the top of them, I'm not quite sure how soft they will go. There is a 30 way click adjustment for the stiffness, my fronts are set at 10 clicks from the softest setting and the rears are 12 clicks from the softest setting. They are pretty stiff compared to stock and it's much harsher over bridge expansions and pot holes, however the ride is much better on concrete highways, not so bouncy. Also the handling of the car in corners is greatly improved, hardly any body roll. For an alternative, Bilstein makes struts for the fiesta that are better than the stock struts. They have springs as well but I believe they will lower your ride height by just under 1 inch. There are plenty of options out there even for the regular Fiesta!

For some reason I don't understand but when I watch videos of the BC coilers being installed on fiesta STS the rear adjuster seems to be on the bottom of the spring instead of on the top which one is it cuz you are installing them on the top as opposed to everybody else I need to know where I can find the truth

Huh, I never noticed that. I just did some looking around on other videos and most of them the adjusters are on the bottom like you said. There is one guy, ST-eph red racing who puts the adjuster on the top like I did. BC Racing does give you an instruction booklet and there is a diagram with the adjuster on top of the spring and that's what I went with. I'll see if I can upload a photo of it for you. Edit: I can't upload a photo to the comments but the adjuster is on top in the diagram of the instructions that come with the coilovers. Hope that helps!
