yeah i wasn't worried about the scrape part but more on the tire and full turn radius. do you have any pictures of the rear? any problems there? i might just have to buy the coils and just experiments myself. your car looks nice and flush though

when I took that first picture I still had about 3/4-1 inch of threads left. My advice if you are trying to go low low is get 18's. My guess is that if you max out on 19's, even with stretched tires, you're going to need custom fender work done.



i wasn't having a problem with the overall height of the car. it has plenty of room left before I scrape. if your numbers are right though it should give him 0.4" in aditional clearance between the top of the tire and the outside of the fender when he is turning.

the pictures below is how low I'm willing to go for now. This is with the inner tube turned 3 full rotations up from being flush with the lower mount.






I'm gonna be the asshole with stretched tires lol I'll make it work

I wouldn't be upset about that stance. You're basically tucking tire, which is what im going for anyway. The springs that are out currently won't get you anywhere near that. Plus, im sure it handles much better.

(so glad we have the same wheels, really gives me an idea of how my car will look)

It would have to be the low max coil. Based on his ride height and all.

should have been more specific, my bad. when you receive the coils they are at a preset. I meant that I had to set them three turns up from the preset. The current height I'm nowhere near the max low yet.

My buddy installed them for me. He left about an inch of threads up front and 1/2 in the rear. Tomorrow he's gonna mess with it a bit more and see how low it can go before it starts rubbing. He didn't take the best picture [emoji58]
