i'm currently 3.5" lower than stock all the way around with both lock rings still installed on Megan Racing coilovers, and they're NOT the lowest coilovers either. just remember though if you go any lower than 24" front fender height say bye bye axles... i believe my front height right now is 24 3/4" and the back height is 25 1/4"

see sig for pic...

Just go with a good set of coils, and as for the 24 inch fender to ground measurement I'm at 20 inches up front without a problem so far. lol Axles bind but they're not completely dead yet.

lol It's not too bad to drive around here in Orlando but the highway is a no no for me at the moment. haha I still have alomost 2 inches to drop it on the coils too. Gotta love having prototype suspension. And thanks for the compliment.

Yes sir, I'm surprised you cant feel my axles vibes from where you are. Ye, it's that bad. haha I havent destroyed any axles yet though so we will just have to wait and see I guess.

Oh and yes its an autotragic.
