Cool, thanks guys. So it looks like according to the average and the specs I'm about 1" lower in the front and 1/2" in the rear. Not really that much lower. I will probly move the front up a 1/2" for extra travel, like I said it's a rough parking lot :/ The rear has alot of extra travel so I could leave that where it is but I don't really want the rear heavy look. I guess I'll see how it looks after.

No we bottom the oil pan out long before then. Actually you can't move the springs hardly at all but if there is a 2x4 lying flat on the ground we'll pick it up and drag it with us You've seen pics of it!

What did you do to it? You do realize that is pretty much about the diameter of the tires. I think my 95 is like 28 off the ground to the center of the well. Our race car has all of 3.25 inches of g.c. from ground to the bumper.

just the gc koni swap on stock size tires. im right at the top of the tire. about 1/2.i think. 215 55 16. i get no rubbing suprisingly. with the wheel fully cocked the tires dont stick out side the well that far. only the front 2/3 or back 2/3 of the tire comes out.

I would suggest only using the coilover that low for race applications and use a ride height relatively close to stock for daily driving. So before you go get your alignment done, Raise her up so there is no uneven tire wear. Unless you are comfortable riding that low all the time

i like the low feel. for everyday fun driving. i feel better the closer to the ground. the ride is satisfiable. control wise. as for winter if my car gets to see it i will jack her up all the way for the fun of it. this is the fun (project) car my next car i will purchase when i get to the states will be the cuiser everyday driver grociery go getter. it is my ownly form of transportation for now till then due to the totalling of my other suv.
