On Marks wit the coilovers, is that the lowest setting, or as low as you can go with that wheel/tire setup?

Looks fantastic!

Can't be the lowest.

That looks like about 2 inches in the rear to me. I'll bet you could get a full 3. inches or more drop with the Megans. I better find out before I order them.

Keep in mind his wheels offset.. that may be as low as he gets without rubbing/tearing anything apart, front and rear.

Looks perfect as is in his pics.. I was asking because Id still be keeping 15's on mine.

15 inchers here too and I am more concerned with looks - I think vanderkitten is more concerned with racing and I am sure you are right any lower in the rear and yes, rub away the fenders and whatever else is in the way


looks great I am thinking from what I have read on the Megan site you can go so low that the car wouldn't be drivable anymore

The goal of these, once finished, is to serve a tuner promo cars and we'll be doing a video of a girl getting into racing using one of these cars. (She'll do an HPDE CLass, and then some AutoX). Her boyfriend lives across the street from me and races RX-7s (his dad, incidentally, is an Ohlins master technician and told me about their new shocks that are a mere $4000... EACH!!!!)

So, we'll see when that happens, maybe in a month, and of course the business write-off for us is always nice, too.

If any of you dudes ever want a hook-up on some VK T's and stuff for your ladies, PM me for a discount coupon.

No, it can go a couple inches lower, obviously not with this set-up, the front is about as low as you'd want it... but keep in mind, all we did was put them on (and WAYYYYYY over tension the front pre-load... ooops )

Now we'll go back and measure everything up and set it correctly... the rears we did not adjust the pre-load or ride height (I can't say that there is a scientific intial setting that these come set in...) but it seems like where I'd want mine.

If you were running 15's for auto X or track, you can definitely drop this another 2 inches... or just for looks!!

Thanks for the props!
