Fronts are maxed with both lockrings removed, need shorter springs to go lower.

When on stock LCAs my rear coils were maxed with all lockrings.

I love the GTspec arms too. i need to remove my front lock rings to go lower, on the to-do list

Nice build! I love the Porche rims! I have a question though, if you had a choice, would you trade your bc racing coilovers for stance coilovers? or do bc racing coilover allow you to go lower?
