Supsension question

I've been doing a lot of research on coilovers. I'm looking at the BC Racing BR coilovers but I have one question I can't seem to find the answer to. How close to the stock rear ride height can these coilovers be set at? Any help is welcome. Thanks

If you aren't slamming your car, why are you thinking of bc? Why does everyone recommend those crappy shocks and why does everyone listen to those recommendations? I really don't understand. What research are you doing that leads you to bor-chuann coilovers??!?!?!?

Reputable well performing shocks aren't even that much more expensive.

Well for one, I would like to "slam" the car eventually but I am not in a position where I can purchase wheels so the 19in OEM's will have to do for now. And as for the coilovers, what would you recommend then.

You can still slam your car on the rays, might have to get smaller than OEM tire sizes and dial in a little extra negative camber, but it can easily be done.

I'd rather not have my car slammed in the snow in winter though.

Adjustable coilovers make it cool right?

Bilstein, kw, ast, ohlins. I don't think any will let you slam the car. If you want low and slow then get whatever you want, like bc. Since you asked about stock ride height I assumed you wanted performance (can't have both slammed and performance)
