whats the suspension setup, looks damn-low.

what width tire are you running, I have 205/50/r15s on 15x7s and they stick past the fender on the front, and I cant even get my pinky finger between the tire and the spring.

are those 185s on a 6in or something, your almost tucking them.

looks damn good that low, Im planning on cutting one coil all around on my B&Gs to bring the car down a bit.

Thanks. In the front I have coilovers, caster/camber plates, and the racing beat lowering kit. Rear I have g-force trilink, panhard, and springs (no watts link, upper trailing arms, or sway bar). There was a recent thread on it:
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hreadid=249032

The tires are 205/45/16 mounted on 16x7 wheels. The wheels are +43 offset which really mounts them inboard. The lowering kit allowed me to have the adjusting collar on the spring perch high enough to where the spring clears the tire...I did have to grind the base of the perch so it would clear the tire. I can post a pic later if you want, as I'm gonna be messing around with the car later.

ioTus,
thanks man...the more I get used to looking at the ride height, the more all other cars look like raised 4x4's with crazy ground clearance
