super low + best ride = LOL

RS*R Black-i was designed for street lifestyle comfort. It'll let you do some stuff on the street, but don't expect it to be mind blowing. Air suspension is hilarious. The good stuff is out of reach for 99.999% of the population.

By going that low you'll essentially ruin the handling of the car. IMO it's less of a crime to go that low with a car that already handles like garbage.

^^ This is what I was going to get at. You might as well go with the air suspension because you're not going to have any suspension travel left for handling when you go crazy low.

+1 for RS*R Black-i's, well matched springs and quality monotubes for the OPs application. http://www.rs-r.com/product/scion-fr...k-i-coilovers/

Im looking for coilovers that i don't have to worry about maxing out, are under $2000, and ride the best for the ride height.
If there is a thread that covers this information please guide me.

These coilovers seem like the 3 big competitors. If anyone has experience and drives very low i would love to hear your thoughts.

BC Coilovers (extreme lows)

Stance Coilovers

326 Power Coilovers

I'm on Custom BC Extreme Drops. My subframe is about a finger from the ground. I plan on going a half a finger lower when I put my Work Meister's on though. Btw, they ride great! I still get sideways on this thing occasionally. Hope this helps. BC Racing ftw!

Awesome bro glad I can help! Yeah driving this low is a lifestyle man

Save your money. If you want to go super low, just cut off a couple coils. It'll ride nicer too for street because it'll be softer. Old school trick

Shinchu · 11-18-2014, 04:03 AM

cutting springs INCREASES rate. makes it harder, not softer.

im going with Powered by Max. i might be a little biased...

How do they ride with only 8/6k springs is there a lot of travel. i was looking to have 10k or so

M23 · 11-18-2014, 01:39 PM

Just remove the springs completely. Old school trick..bro
