Lower than 1 inch and we can all laugh at you when you high centre in a drive through and ask for help to push your car off the speed bump !

Funny you say that. I went over my first significant bumps after my spring install and my cheeks puckered a little as I so have an exhaust that hangs bellow the axle. No problem however.

All I have is a 5 axis kit with no lowering and I scrape comin outta my driveway with direzza's.

Stock tires (1/4 inch difference) and I'm ok -

But there WILL be that one stinkin pot hole eventually -

1.2 front 1.4 back with H&R Super Sport Springs and no problems with speed bumps so far. I have to go over them in my own neighborhood and work.

I honestly don't know exactly how low my car is (on ST Coils)


all i know is, i have 0 problems getting into my driveway, but now i do take literally every angle a LOT slower

also, the main problem area seems to be my exhaust, it's low as shit to the ground...doesn't look to be maybe a half an inch or so higher than the damn bottom of the wheels (not the tires, the actual wheel)

Besides worrying about ground clearances... You should also be concerned about
The axle half shafts that will be compromised by the new angles which will put more wear and tear on the CV joints... Just another consideration to keep in mind when you modify something that is designed to work a certain way..

In stock mode it is a very well designed car - If it ain't broke - don't fix it.

However - if it wasn't a daily driver but a dedicated track car - go all the way.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for mods and breakage ! (All hobbies are expensive)
