TEIN Street basis Z, not satisfied, want to go lower - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I got TEIN street basis z coilovers for my 13 Scion FR-S and I’m not satisfied with how low they go. Is there anyway I can make them go lower and how? The coilovers aren’t maxed out because when I max them out the springs move around and I’m not sure if that’s normal or not.

To get a lower look get more rubber. Lower control arms work too. I have the street basis z and plan on upgrading because they are bumpy and with going lower i would want to set damping which you can't with these teins. My car is almost maxed out. The front could be better but because of the roads and no damping I won't risk it.

My setup is: 18x9.5 +35 on 255/35/18 no rub. Still need to do an alignment tho. Lol.

If you want the looks without spending the money and don't give a shit about ride quality then slam the coilovers. You won't die because the springs are loose when the car is in the air.

Drive safe.

What is your drop in inches from stock, if you don't mind me asking?
