How low can you go? :)
Just thought I would share a pic..
ride height drop courtesy of GAB coilovers.. 4 way adjustable up front, 8 way in the back, and front camberplates.. it's just too bad I didn't get a shot of the coilovers before they went on the car..
anyhow,
Stock suspension -
Coilovers installed -
too low??

I R SAD PANDA W/O BAW
Looks good but a little too low for my taste. You are right on the edge of tires sunken into the wheel well which I dont really like. How does the ride feel with them?

looks nice, I like it.
Do you FC guys get rear adjustible upper control arms like us s13 peeps? I got coilovers on my S13 and if I tried to go lower, camber plays a big role in it.

I'll be honest.. the car handles like a go-cart.. and on the highway it rides great.. however, I live in a city where there is no such thing as a smooth road.. so the ride is quite choppy.. my kidneys definitly take a beating driving around with the car this low.. Maxthe7man brought the coilovers back from his trip out in Japan.. apperently they were removed from on of Re Ameiya's cars during his visit there... unfortunately the front springs are too short, and I can't adjust my ride hight any higher up front, then they already are.. going to have to looking into getting a new set of springs or putting in a spacer or helper springs to get a bit more room... I rolled the front fenders to keep things from rubbing for the time being..
As for camber.. yeah, rear camber was affected because of the drop.. going to look into some adjustable endlinks to cure the camber problem soon..

hehehe
looks good
i dropped my car by 30mm and damn it's scraping so bad it pulls the front fenders out!
i do have huge fat tyres on the front though!
handles well, but for train tracks and stuff, it's much better at normal ride height, like 2.5 inches of air between the rear tyre and guard
