How low can we go?

FYI - posted this in Suspension/Wheel forum and didn't get anything, also search didn't help much either.

Anyways, as I await the completion of my custom 20's from dpe engineering, I am going to go ahead and slap the JICs on..

My previous car (a nissan maxima) was able to go pretty damn low on it's JICs to the point of tucking rim in rear on 19s and still being able to drive around town. The front was a different story because of turbo piping and big sideskirts/front bumper.

Back on track... my coupe doesn't have a body kit yet, waiting for greddy patiently, and I want to know if there are a lot of lowering issues with this car. I am a big fan of putting the tires inside the fender wells, especially with a suspension setup like JICs that doesn't lose travel upon extreme lowering.

Sorry for the long drawn out explination of my question, just trying to give all the facts up front and go from there. I'd like to know that I can tuck tire on stock 18's with the JICs before I do it and drive around and find out I rub everywhere..

Thanks for any insight.. i can't wait for my wheels to get done.

Re: How low can we go?

Do you live in an area with lots of steep driveway entrances and really bumpy/potholed roads?

I have the luxury of living in florida so most everything is pretty damn straight.. my other car sat about 1.5"/2" off the ground and I didn't scrape too much here.

I am more worried about rubbing inside the wheel wells and all over the inside of the fender.

I don't need the function of the JICs if I can't even tuck the tires inside the fenders and drive around.. hmm..

Re: How low can we go?

theres only one guy i have seen here that has slammed his g35. its a red one, but you will have to look for him in the rides section..haha. its pretty damn low. I dont think anyone else is really into slamming their g35, so you will probably have to find out for yourself.
