ok well as stated i wanna be really low... idealy like to have 16's on 40 series rubber and be tucked.. do you guys know if that's even possible? if not then i'll do 17's on 40's...
i've been looking into the the megan racing full coilovers but im not sure how low they can go..
what else would you guys recommend to get me slammed?
thanks
Andrew

Rep Power: 349 Im down about 3" on b&gs with 205/40/17 and a Kami lip kit. I scrape the front and the exhaust all the time. It f*in sucks. Get good coilovers and 17s to drop it with no kit or coilovers with 18s and a kit. Running a kit on 17s and a deep drop it tough.

Rep Power: 309 i belive telly is the only member who actually is active here and has megan full coilovers. i would ask him to see his input on it.
B&G's s3 coilovers seem to be the way to go if you wanna slam.

Rep Power: 0 i can get the megan's for so cheap so thats why i'd wanna go with those if i decide to go full coilovers....
i wanna get rid of my kit.. right now i have 18's, kit and saggy *** h&r sports that drop me pretty good (no finger gap in the back and bout 1 in the front)
i think 17's, megan's, and a lip kit is what i'll do...i already have the OEM rear lip so i'll just find some kinda sides and front...
thanks... just kinda wanted 16's cuz it'll prolly make a pretty good difference for turbo.. w/e though light weight 17's will still be better than my 18's i have now

Rep Power: 286 i've been reading and megan racing coilovers are some of the best out, for any price. i don't think you'd be disappointed with them. or ksport, tein ss, or a few others.

Rep Power: 289 i will answer u... i have 215/40/16 on my rota gt3s. i have b&g coilovers and im lowered 3.25 inches all around with a full kit urethane. right now the only thing thats near tucking is the rear left. everything else i can still lower another inch. u'd have to lower it the full 4 inches in order to tuck if u were wanting to do that. it rides just fine for me and i treat it like its not lowered a lot when i drive and its fine on the highway. i even went on a 1200 mile trip and no problems. you'll be fine with it that low. i dont kno how much ull be tucking then if u go 4" but it'll be at least to the tire. maybe a little more. and the pics in my profile aren't exact because i lowered it an inch more then those pics all around. gl tho, its fun being low. the sides skirts are the only pita.
if u look at the picture i attached you'll see my car before i lowered the front end on the left there another inch and a half. so right now its sitting a half or quarter inch above the tire. i can still lower it close to an inch more to tuck the tire tho. the rear i lowered it like half an inch more to close to the tire. like the front it still has an inch more. hope that gives u a good idea. also... i dont scrape much, if at all. i drive highway and city all the time and rarely bottom out. just learn the roads and ull be just fine. speedbumps are ur enemy.
