How low can your coilovers go? Or how low are they set if they're not adjustable? Thanxalot.

I need to know, so I can lower it just to show the car off, say on a Friday or Saturday night. I'm going back to 15" and I think it would look goofy lowered w/ just Eibach pro-kit. So I want a suspension that will lower up to 2.5 or 3" in the front.

The overall tire diameter won't be any different with stock wheels, so why would it look strange? :confused:

i believe ground controls will allow you to drop 3 inches...

correct me if im wrong but if theyre not adjustable theyre not coilovers, theyre springs.

15" rims look funny on an Ep to me, unless it's lowered about 2 inches.

I want something like tein, kw, or jic.

Mugens coilovers are not adjustable.

I just put on my d2 coilovers recently. I had never owned full coilovers before so I set the rings to halfway up the strut to be "safe". When I got the wheels back on, the shit was tucked, I had to put some wood under the tires just to get the jack out. Right now I have them set to approx. 1.5 finger gap all around. That will change some when it stops fucking raining around here. Hope this helps some.
