Finished my coil install and still working on height adjustments. Front is about 24.5" right now and I am tucking tire hard. It is impossible to drive around here. Cannot get in the drive way, wheel hitting my A-arms (AWD) on dips/bumps and my skidplate and y-pipe are taking a beating. Plus i hear a slight grinding noise when turing. 26" up front is probably gonna do it for me

For those who roll dumped for DD, more power to ya!

 

Just have to make everything fit right and you would be golden. It's a totally different driving style being low, I have been there and didn't find it worth it. 26" all around sounds like a good number to be at!

 

haha my rear height is money IMO. Just need to raise the front up today (hopefully)

 

Sucks that the AWD guys have that problem with hitting the A-arms. Undertray and Y-Pipe do take a beating yes, stiffening the dampening would reduce this significantly at that ride height.

Take a pic of where it sits now, I'd like to see.

 

Went out and measured mine real quick, 28.5 front, 28 rear (stock sport suspension FTL)

 

I will snap a pic later. I am 20 clicks from full stif front and 15 rear. Need to stiffen up the front to about 18 and lower the to 18 as well.

Dont want to jar the hell out of my kiddos when they are in the car so more stiff than this is a no go

 

Related to the dampening, I would say it depends on how old your kids are. Now that my older son is 2 (almost 3) the full stiff suspension doesn't bother him anymore. When he was 1 he would grunt every time we hit a bump in the road (and back then I wasn't even at full stiff).

 

Daughter is 1 and son is 3. They are in my wifes care more than mine.

How much higher is the front fender arch over the rear?

 

You're not low enough. Grow a pair and break something for crying out loud!....J/K...I feel you though... I'm slammed, boosted and kitted and I drive daily...don't ask me how especially where the roads up here are suffering from the abuse of snow plows pulling up chunks of the road!

 

My sway bars (no undertray), cats, y pipe, midpipe, and muffler all take a beating. Sucks about the A arm though. Mine doesn't hit the tire but it hits the chassis or whatever.

I took this pic yesterday. Side skirt dragging, frame on pavement. Car was in D exiting a driveway but it wouldn't move...and still I want to lower more



If you didn't have issues with the A arm hitting the tire, I'd say deal with it. But since that's a huge problem, I wouldn't risk it. Why not leave it at 25.5"?

 

WFT wheel is that? I need to remeasure to get the exact hight. Looking for a .5 finger gap and let it settle a touch more since the coils/springs are still new

 

OEM coupe 19's....till I get done refinishing the new wheels i got.

 

haha, I wanna see a full car shot

 

Oh boy, Never knew about AWD A- arm hitting lol.
and my wheels just came in yesterday 19x9.5 +12 for the fronts. =X We'll see what I have to go thru to make them fit...

 

take a picture =D always love seeing slammed cars even if they dont stay that way
