Yes, because the nose of the car doesn't scrape enough curbs yet.

Going less than an inch lower anyhoo.

Well, the next time you color jawn's car ...... just raise up the ground an inch .....

Trying to get rid of this receiver from my old car on craigslist.

Auto electronics for sure.

That's true, we do have all the stance stuff out here...

I'll stick to lowering my two lowrider projects

@soulreapersteve slam that bitch. It's not as bad as everyone claims. I'm almost maxed on my coils and I don't scrape or get high centered. Just don't go over speed bumps. Go around or go elsewhere

He isn't slamming it. Just a nice little drop. Doesn't hamper getting around in the least little bit.

Let's face the facts he is going to do it anyway!

Thanks but that's too extreme for me. The Yellows provide just enough noticeable drop (.8") to decrease that wheel well gap while not going too low. RCE also designed the springs to be used on stock suspension components.

I'll see where my thoughts are after track day coming up in 2 months. New tires are main priority right now (for the car at least).

I only KNOW of one place with speed bumps around here, not counting state parks so it's really not a problem for me

hmmmm.......in this part of the country ..... it's different.

Case in point, there is one of those high/sharp speed bumps on the perimeter of a shopping center that is in the shade, barely painted and right beside a Sears Automotive tire/brake/alignment shop ........

But, if you insist on truly fucking up your suspension, yeah, go with some adjustable coilovers and just throw them on straight out of the box.

I know someone here that did that and then complained because the ride was too stiff.

To be fair, most of us know what we're doing when we put coilovers on.. I'm not sure it would constitute "fucking up" the suspension

Well, OK, I give up. @soulreapersteve do whatever you want.

However, Tcoat, if he lowers his car and pulls into a Denny's late at night, to get a coffee to sober up a bit, with his music blaring and some large breasted, hot woman hanging all over him and unknowingly runs up and over over a parking stop and doesn't hear the front clip ripping off his car, when he leaves, because he's distracted by her head being in his lap ......... and comes on the forum the next day with a post about his front clip "falling off" and can't remember where it happened ....... it will be up to you to explain what happened .......
