This low

 

^^Oh jeeze

I kinda want to go lower. The front can go down a little more but the height adjustment in the rear is maxed. To go lower I would have to drop the pre-load on the springs which I am hesitant to do since I don't have helper springs.

Before I was about an inch below stock. Dropped it another 1.5" so now I am about 1.5-2" below stock height. Doesn't sound like much but it is a pretty big drop.

If I decide that I want more low I would want to get some shorter springs and helper springs and go from there.

 

That's pretty much what I am on my s-techs. And I want to go a bit lower but I hate the fact I already rub on a lot of **** keeps me away from going lower for daily drive-ability.

 

Why on earth would you want to go lower? You know the front is supposed to be higher, right? Your car is LOW!

On the current setting, you don't have any problems rubbing? What about driveways and such?

 

^ Why go lower? Because many of us told Jourdan that by getting BC coilovers he has to slam the car.

 

I think the fact that I am not rubbing on anything is kinda fueling the want for low. For me the drive-ability is all still there, I have already gotten into the habit of taking driveways and speed bumps very gingerly.

Hopefully I can get some better sized wheels and tires on soon. The current 16x7 are killing me. I was able to borrow a set of 17x7.5 G-forces for a day and they fit better, but still a decent amount of room. Makes me feel good about the 18x9 wheels that I want so bad.

 

Agreed

You really don't need helper springs. That just sounds like an excuse.

 

I can't wait until Matt posts up the pictures he took.

 

Nah, that's bag status. Bags are for groceries.

Not an excuse if it is the proper way to get it done.

 

Ohhh I didn't know you were riding on 16's lmao. Get some 17's or 18's if you really want the look and fill in the gap, and stuff under your car will be a bit safer. MOAR LOWER

 

sorry to bump from the dead but when i tried to use a breaker bar to get my coil loose it only stripped one of the pieces of the collar. im not scared to use a breaker bar to loosen it because i dont want to break another.. i need help!!

 

That's exactly why I didn't use a breaker bar.

I'm going to find the pictures from Post 56 and fix them.

 

great thanks so so much man!

 

I had the same problem

Spray a ton of WD-40 or pb blaster or something all over the perches and coil, and you'll need TWO sets of spanner wrenches. My old coils were totally seized and I couldn't find anything to hold it hard enough to wrench on it until I used two sets of spanner wrenches that way you can grab at the top big perch and bottom big perch. Hope that helps, if not good luck

 

I've used slipjoint pliers before, or a big plumber's wrench. Those are last resort types of deals though
