FC suspension help

hi. i am going to drop my FC and i need some info on some suspension setups. and i am not just going to do a small drop but a really low drop on the FC, like around 1 fist or maybe a little more off the ground. im thinking about getting ground control coilovers with koni yellow shocks. is this a good setup? im also thinking about koni coilovers or tein coilovers. out of those, which would be the best choice for me. or are there any else i should consider?

Just cut your springs.

Don't waste the performance of koni yellows/GC coilovers or any other coilovers.

Also GC coilovers lower up to 1.5" and the Koni Yellows or most shocks on the market recommend a 1.5 inch drop.

There is a point when going too low hurts performance.

The FC is a bad choice for going super low. You'll run into some serious negative camber issues that'll keep your tires from lasting more than half as long as they should normally, or you'll have to spend a bunch more on alignment parts. Most would reccomend staying above a 1" drop or else get camber correction parts. Other than that you can run shorter tires to get the car lower.
