I was planning on getting my coilover kit, full kit. and I was wondering who has the lowest drop. More particularly with an SS-III kit on. Anyone? I wonder because our cars seem to all slant lower towards the front, making the rear look like its tippy toeing.

Most coilovers will have adjustable height, and most can even get to the point where your whole body is scrapping the ground.

Any of the popular makes (D2, K-Sport, Megan, NEX, Tanabe) will be able to do this.

you've seen my it was even all around. but, now i have the front slight bit higher to clear speed-bumps. the back is still lower and no problems. it looks good too. love the adjustable coilovers.

i would def say go with some nice adjustable coilovers and then you can drop the car as low as possible... I loved bein able to raise the celi a little with the new ksports, now I actually have clearance for speedbumps

travel is suprisingly sweet .. but it all depends on the settings you set at the top of the struts

mine would have to be one of the lowest i reckon.

when sitting on flat ground there is about 10-12mm of tyre (around half an inch for you people ) up under the guard.





in my opinion its too low, when my shocks arrive in a couple of weeks ill be re setting the springs about 20mm longer (well it will only be 15mm higher because i made some strut cushion tops to raise it 5mm ). Its on king ultra lows now, and suspension travel isnt sufficient for some of the driving i do .

That car is ridiculously low! I thought my 1.5" all around was low. Can't wait to get a set of Tenzo R springs which are 1.8".

trdproven

#25

1.8's won't make a big different compared to your 1.5, that is only a .3 different. , you'll see it at first for the first few seconds, then be disappointed. Get at least over a 2" drop for looks.
