Slamming the FRS

I want to stance my frs and cant make my mind up on which coilovers to get.

I want to go pretty much as low as possible.

Thanks in advance

Low as possible? Airbags, just like everybody else. If you want a static set up, KW V3's go pretty low

Airbags would get you super low, but if you wanna stay away from bags, Stance, PBM and BCs go pretty damn low and don't cost an arm and a leg.

I'm about 3.5 inches off the ground and can still go another 1.5 inches or so lower

I have to agree with everyone. Airbags are your best choice.

How much are willing to spend ? Around $1K, you'll get those bc , stance , feal and fortunes and the likes . For about $3-4K get the bags .... No reason to spend more than $2K if you really want to superslam your car on static ride ... It'll be super stiff .

I'm gonna second the RSR Blacki. You can slam it into the grassroots and still retain most of the suspension travel.
