how low?

[dthebuk]

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

18\'s on the back, 17\'s on the front. Then drop the rear so its stupidly close to the arch. then as you have 17\'s on the front you dont need silly close fitment to get the car flat.

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.

its lot of adjustment left on the coil, but thats not the problem. I will take pictures of the spot where the coil/suspensionarm hit each other.

I run 3 degrees of camber in front and 2,5 at the rear. rolled arches and w/o innerfenders.

I would like to lower the back untill the rim and arch are meeting each other,

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

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?

 
it seems once the front and rear are sitting at the same height to the other side of the car, all the stock parts seem to angle very well and cope with he car being much lower than stock!

see, i dont think mine is too far off a good stance! granded the wheels do need to push out a lil more but as for hight i think thats okay!
 

 
the photo angle dose not help either really as the front is about 15mm lower than the back!

Your stance works very well, in my opinion you are approved...

Your car is looking very good ENVYD.

Thanks for the reply. That\'s good news to me as I don\'t have to spend more money to buy other suspension components in order to get it lowered, except a set of coilly and a full wheel alignment. Job done!

thanks bud, think yours is better like! spesh if you could get it that bit lower! what size and offsets are you running with?

Christoffer, could you show me a pic? There are accessories that you can get from bc racing, that could maybe make you go lower. I have tanabe coilovers in know and wanted my car a bit lower so bought the bc racing ones:confused:

Thanks! wheels are 18x9 225/40 F&R
F et15
R et5

[christoffer]

its the red spots in the picture that hitt each other under load.
Maybe its possible to grind abit on the coilovers to free some space.

How low will you go? seems that BC works well to that hight iam at now.

Yes bud i think it\'s fairly safe to say that has stance :Thumbsup!
improvements?... slightly lower profile tyres would help me thinks (esp. on the front! -Just seen some more pics from your progress thread.)

Ok, i see what you mean, i will maybe grind a bit off, before i put them on. I would probably go as low as you are, what profile are your tyres?

225/40 but i will change to 225/35 front tyres.

This is how low my car is.
