Really depends on the coilovers. Not really sure what you are asking... If they are spun all the way to the bottom - they're maxed out lol. You can take the locking rings out in the fronts and rears... and you'll probably get another 1/2-1" additional on the front and rears. They are on the bottom on the strut and on the rears just about the spring (in the spring seats.)

Yeah I'm running 9 inch wide wheels with 22540r18s... how do you go about custom coils??? Different springs???

i had first gen stance coils and i couldnt even max the front due to me wanting to keep my wheel wells. the rears were almost tucking with the lower seat pulled (i made custom adapters to hold the springs in place).

I'd like to be low like you and have the option to go a little lower if I wanted to... thanks again for all the help

You're forgetting to factor in a shorter spring height. Lowering springs generally are shorter in height and in order to keep the car off the bump stops are also stiffer.

... also does this top nut need to be tighted?... or will it **** with preload or spring tension??? buddy of mine that manages a local auto shop said they need to be tighted or my top mount will pop out... (this is how they were shipped to me) any info on this would be appreciated as well thanks

hey all.... donno if your interested in a update at all but I got the car pretty much where I want it height wise.. only issue is the rear... (took apart again last night) but still same result... pass side rear is a slight bit higher then the drivers side.... is this normal??? I think I've read on other threads that the pass side does sit higher on these cars

You can't use identical settings on each side and expect them to all sit level.
Applies to all coilovers on all cars.
