If I'm 2-3 inches off the ground I can drive fine, if a bag busts and Im practically laying frame that's another issue

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

your car is beautiful

If you are looking for a slammed car just go with BC extrem lows and call it a day because you'll need harsher spring rates too.

Rsr black I doesn't go lower, has soft spring rate and doesn't come with front plates

Thanks for the info! I've heard very good comments on the BC's so I will probably just go with those

They're not the best quality wise, but if you are going to slam your car you don't have that many options. You could also consider stance but bc's go lower

I'd say Stance Coils or BC, or bags for sure

I'm on airlift with room to go lower in front

I know bags will definitely help with what I am going for, I'm just worried about the reliability of them. I've heard negative things about bags or lines busting and people being stranded. And the BC's will prob work best for me since I'm just going for low. Will probably not autocross anytime soon.

the thing about bags is: most people that give those comments are just passing on hearsay and have no idea what they are talking about lol.

Makes since, I just have no personal experience with them so I was a little unsure about using them. Seems like you can go just as low with coil-overs though and save some $$$
