Here is my car on KSport coilovers:


I still have about ~ 3/4" left in the front and maybe 1/8-1/4" in the rear before i cant go any lower. And a number of manufactures make rear lower control arms that will lower the rear even more. I am on 245/40/18 tires (slightly taller than stock) in he picture. I have an alarming lacking number of photos of my own car odly and I don't have very many with a bumper on it. lol

If you are referencing the axle... There is an axle thread somewhere discussing how a number of people have broken their left side axle while "spirited" driving. A large number of us were all lowered quite a bit. Mind you I enjoyed driving my car and used the full suspension travel on it. This has nothing to do with KSports I was just making a joke because it looks like the angle from lowering too much can cause stress to your axles if you are abusive.
