No clue, I dropped it till it was at a height I liked. It rubs pretty excessively for most people though Id say though with this height and wheel offset. Rubbing through the plastic liners all around, rear bumper tab has been rubbed through, front fenders are pulling themselves out and taking shape, front markers are getting worn through, etc.

Haha, for surez. We're about the same height too. You're a little lower. I see you're running a stiffer rear spring on the stance coils. What do you have you damping stiffness at?

I'm at full stiff in the rear and exactly half on the fronts. Curious where you're at

Car felt very stable and controllable with the 6k front 7k rear once I got the dampening dialed in throughout the day. I ended up with running full stiff up front and 4 clicks from full stiff in the rear.

I still need an alignment but the car feels great, and I want to save to get the STANCE rear control arms before getting one.

Obviously I am sure there is a ton of room for improvement but so far, this is where I am at. I seriously love this car and I want to continually develop it for years to come to compliment my driving and style! =)

Quick video from the last event, totally forgot to change the setting AGAIN on my GoPro so the video sucks horribly. Sorry! lots of rubbing as well as lots of ebrake use due to the stock torsen diff lol

Interesting. I'll have to try and see how much difference stiffening the front dampers make. I've always ran around half way on the front dampers on my cars. Might be a nice change to the settigs for this car.

I hear ya on the torsen diff haha. Need a clutch type bad. New LSD, more mid range torque, and more steering angle is all this car needs

A few more photos that I liked from DD45

I love my coilovers. I am biased towards STANCE since they are local to me and are good friends of mine. The car rides and handles great though even at my low ride height and in my opinion, they are the best bang for buck coilovers you can get.

Yup I get the same noise when I pull my ebrake. Completely normal
