[QUOTE="BlownVenom01, post: 7499589, member: 71859"] I bought my car with MM coilovers and the previos owner had the suspension alligned to a "more than generous" ride height (over 2.5" gap) and I never felt like lowering it but didn't want to get an allignment. now that it's in the garage for the winter i figured i'd slam the front end. Originally the spring was 5 inches up the threaded sleeve on the coilover, almost maximum ride height >:O, which gave me a fender to tire gap of 2.6 inches. I dropped the spring to 3.9 inches up the threaded sleeve and got a gap of 2.25, a very minimal difference. :( So i pulled the tires back off, and lowered the spring to only 2.8 inches up the threaded sleeve and had a gap of 1.63, which was a little better but still had room to go. So for the final time I pulled off the tires and lowered the spring to only 1.7 inches, about 25% of the max ride height. I figured this would be spot on, so i cleaned up the wheel well and tire gelled the wheel well and the tire, threw on the lugs and dropped the front end. I actually got the jack stuck under the car it was so low. I had a gap from the tire to the fender of .95 inches. It looks sick and the tire looks much more tucked and less awkward, BUT i wanted to know if I should/can go lower. It definitly has a good quarter inch until it looks completely slammed. [/QUOTE]
