not low enough...

So I bought bc racing coilovers and maxxed the rear out. And barely tucking tire. Did post this up before but figured out that it was the lowest it could go. I got the typeBR coilovers. So now I searched and only thing I could find was to cut the top srping seat a lil. Probably want to do that but anybody kno where to get shorter springs? I'm going for a really low look I mean almost bagged, don't need to flam that's just how I like my cars. So any help jus lmk, thanks

I don't think you can get shorter springs, and I don't recommend them anyways.

BUT you could cut the top spring seat by a good 1/2 inch, that should be enough to tuck your tires in a little more. Look up thread "Springmount mod" by Redlude97.

ur going for a REALLY low look and u bought bc racing coilovers? ouch.. shuda searched around more...

anyways did you take off one of the rings or even BOTH rings in the rear? if u want shorter springs u can get them (180mm as opposed to 200mm)

and u know most people achieve that really low look with different side skirts (for example ings) and different front bumper..

Getmelower....:)

If I intended to go that low I'd do bags like Lawrence, he's either on the ground (literally) or high enough so he can drive on the streets like a real car. You could take an inch out of the upper spring mounts, search there's a how-to here on Driver from Big C. (Chris)
