What Suspension Will Go The Lowest On Our Cars?

Comparing a few different suspension setups before I look to buy. If you could post pics of your lowered FR-S or BRZ, what you are sitting on, wheel size, how much you are dropped, and how much you have left to go if any...

BC Racing BR Extreme Low Coilovers with Swift Springs. (14k/16k rates)

All the way down, removed one collar in the rear. To go lower, you could remove front collars, and/or get Stance rear LCA's. The Stance rear LCA's lower the rear 25mm's.



And here's with 18's. (18x9.5 +35, 235/35)

I'm on bc also but not the extreme drop....the front still have about 1/2 inch left without removing any collar and rear max out still can go lower if I loose up he preload but don't want to do that...miro 368 18x10 +25 all around tires is Nanking 225/45/18

This pic is when rear max out and camber at -6.4


This pic. The rear is not camber or max out but the front still have about 1/2 inch to go..also front camber is -4

Yeah, you're probably going to be best served with a set of the BC Racing coilovers. They can be had with custom options like extreme drop, stiffer rates etc.

We have done custom setups on these for a couple local customers and they like them.

Looks good guys! I've been between Megan EZ Street and the BC Extreme Drops, will probably just pay the extra money for the BC's

I'm sure it would, it just wouldn't be the most practical suspension for where I live. If a bag or line were to bust I would be S.O.L. back in the country.

The EZ's run a little softer and you don't have the option of swapping out the springs for a stiffer rate, which you will probably want if you are slamming the car.

and being 2-3 inches off the ground in BC coils won't cause you any clearance issues living in the country?
