Easy to do since you can go way lower in the rear than you can up front and it ******* SUCKS. My friend andrew in his stock ride height sunken ship fitment car jokingly asked if i bagged the rear suspension and pointed it out. 18/17 stagger will fix that **** asap if i can ever decide on wheels.
I WISH i could have my side skirts laying on the ground..... I'm using the "roads here sucks" excuse until my lazy *** rivets some thin sheet metal to the bottoms of them. I can't find my ******* jigsaw and tin snips.

Sheet metal makes sparks and saves them from being ground down by asphalt. That's what i meant sorry. And i'm not putting a 30 series tire on 16's. I want 40's on 17's but that's gonna be later on in the year. I can't afford the **** right now. I just dropped $2k on parts. My room looks like a garage......
You peeps wanting super low need to check out jic coils. For real.

I switched the 235/45/17 that were on my car to a 215/40 and it was crazy how much lower it was. It still wasn't as low as I wanted it though. I'm starting to get the idea that you have to droop the springs on FC's no matter which coilover you go with if you want to be low.

How wide are the tires? Tire sidewall size varies depending on the tire width (215/45 is shorter than a 235/45), you might have already known that, I'm just throwing it out there.
