I think you can achieve maximum lowness w/ the OEM setup when compared, but I can go LOW AS HELL w/ true coilover.. I'm not as low as I can go and I'm only 3.5" from the ground at my lowest point.
I can't go any lower w/out scraping the lane dividers off the pavement w/ my splitter..
Don't know how low you intend on going, but I can't get any fingers between my wheel and fender all the way around.. So that's PLENTY low.

To everyone who has come across this thread - my coilovers have been SOLD to a local member. I would be happy to continue providing feedback on the MDU's, but please do not contact me asking if I am still selling them. Thanks!

Ok so what about the guys that just want something better than new springs and shocks. I'm riding on 20's and my shocks have simply died. I just replaced them 8 months ago and they are dead. I do city and highway driving but i drive my baby slow. I simply want something that i can ride on that is nice and smooth and will be ok on the 20s. I do think my g will ever see a track or auto x. Just want her to be smooth and driving right.

I'm considering picking up a set of these coils instead of getting a spring/shock combo. I read that some of you switched to a true coilover set-up due to bounciness in the rear. I'm just wondering if it could be eliminated by adjusting the dampening more.
I definitly don't want a bouncy rear end, and really don't have a need for the true coilover setup. I'm looking to drop between 1-2 inches, but would like the adjustability in case I want to go lower.

IMO just go with true coilover setup. It's really easy just takes maybe 15-30 minutes more when installing

just received my MDU's on Tuesday and had them installed on Thursday, took 14 days to deliver, dam!!
First impressions was the rear was too bouncy, so I had them adjust the dampening. He tightened the stiffness to max and the rear is perfect now, no bouncy and the ride is still comfortable. I still need to adjust the front cause it bottom out when I went over a speed bump but I believe I can do this without removing the tire/suspension.
Can anyone confirm if you can adjust the front stiffness without taking the tire/suspension out?

Yes, you can adjust the stiffness of the fronts from the engine bay. The ***** are poking through and can be adjusted by hand.
