how low?

[ENVYD]

I am in the process of fitting some Zeal coilovers to my FD and wanted to know how low can you push the stock drop links?
 
this is the current height the car is sitting at and i want to go about 10-15mm lower, but the drop link looks like its about to snap lol!
 


 
do i need to buy some sort of adjustable one?
 
thanks

[ENVYD]

thanks bud, wanna put some spacers on it tho to push it out a lil more! the wheels are et 12 but i am sure et 2 should be okay!
 
also bud, do you make those led style light for people? if so, how much? just all round pattern!

looks sweet, any other pics, havent seen any for a while.

got any pics of the links as i have never looked at mine. i say drop it to check angles etc but are you going to have skirt problems tho??

[ENVYD]

just put some picks up on the build mate, can just see the link! not to fussed about the skirts tbh mate, aslong as it looks good! also want to fit the carbon under splitters too lol!

You can deffo go lower than that.
If you\'re really worrid about the drop links, fab some new ones from rose joints and threaded bar

Okay thanks mate.

You don\'t have any picks of them fabed linnks do you?

I want to go lower but my rear coils are hitting the top suspension arm on full compression. iam runing BC coilovers, and it has this stance at the moment.

I love it, more pics? Maybe we should start an \'FD with stance\' thread :yes

I don\'t think it would run to a second page if properly moderated!
I can think of very few cars in the UK that actually have a decent stance unfortunately
Hell, even in the US, most of the owners who go for decent fitment and ride height are lambasted for straying from the norm of 9.5j et38 wearing a 255 rear, and 8.5j et45 front wearing a 235.

What would you say I need to do to get good stance? I have dropped a tuck more if you look at my project page!

Wheels are also 17x9.5 et12 all round 225F 235R

Christoffer, i thought you could lower the bc coilvers on the body of the coilver? Is that as low as it goes? I have just bought some second hand.

Hi guys, just of a thought of a question when I read this thread. When you lowered the car by that much, how would the standard wheel alignment can cope with those big toe/caster/camber tilted angles? Do you also have to replace some standard suspension components with the adjustable one, eg shorter drop links, adjustable upper suspension arms?
