How much should I drop my car?
eY! Hmmm, I don't know how much I should drop my car, okay my problem is... I have 15" Konig Wave with 40 series tires and there is a pretty big gap inbetween the wheel and the car and I have coil-overs and I don't how much I should drop it. Oh, the coil-overs aren't installed yet... Also if the coil-overs are installed is it hard to adjust it? I think I have more questions about this just can't think ryte now. Anyway, thanks for the help! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 the car should be SLAMMED. anything more than 2" ground clearance is unacceptable.
the car should be lower than recommended lowering heights in order to push the envelope.
go to the edge, my friend. if the wheels arent in the wheel well, it's not low enough.
if you're not scraping speedbumps, it's not low enough.
get low, get down, get dirty.
and yes, coilovers are relatively easy to adjust.

Rep Power: 0 I second that. If you don't drop your car low enough you'll just be wasting your money. Squirrels shouldn't be able to walk under your car when your approaching a freeway, in fact they should never make it past your front lip. Nothing is cooler than making that "RUBBING" noise when your passing a crowd of party goers! Whenever I pull out of my driveway I always backup fast to ensure 100% of my body kit is eating curb.

Rep Power: 0 - well, u got coilovers so the question is irrelevant especially considering that you can adjust them whenever you want and to whatever height you want. personally, more than 2" for show, less than 2" for daily driving.

Rep Power: 0 It's your car, who cares what we think.. Thats why your ride will have 17's, ground control coilovers, LED washer lights, and a 12 foot aluminum wing flying off the rear. Do ur own thing dont worry about everyone elses car or opinions...Now with your permission only, I'm goin to the bathroom.. Is that OK, do U mind...Would that be COOL?[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]
