dude, these cars can be tucked, they're just not driveable like that. air bags are the only way. coilovers you can, but you just can't adjust them that easily.

ss sleeper, you car won't be driveable. i could go maybe another 1/2 inch, and it would be really pushing it. the coilovers can go lower, but you just can't drive like that. would rub in nearly every turn, and it would feel like you were driving with no suspension at all.

K-Sports, lower from around 1"-3" they can go lower by about an inch on the front, and 2 inches on the back from that picture. i had the front dropped 1/4" and the rear 1" after that picture was taken. that was the initial install setup, then i had all of it tuned.

awesome ride BTW.

NO. i don't want to bash you man, but you seriously cannot drive a car that low unless you completely strip/cut out the fenderwells, and modify the fenders to allow clearance for the wheels when you turn. now, you can park it at a show and slamm it, that would be absolutely awesome, but you can't drive like that.
