slamming your car is only for looks bro dont do it. its not for performance unless your going to change everything out and fully track it.

Slamming a DD is the most retarded thing anyone can possibly do to a car....

thanks for the input, but ive been ridin on skunk2 sleeves all the way down for almost a year. like the drop but want something nicer... does anyone actually know what coilover will drop me the lowest? if anyone know about the tein basics i can get a real good deal on them will they go as low as the skunk2 sleeves?

i believe they Megan Racing coilovers go pretty low.and they have the lowered tierod slot so your rack is straighter. i still dont suggest doing it for reasons already said above.

if you want low then i suggest you get ground control sleeves and match that up with some koni shocks. ground control goes pretty damn low.

so i have done more research, and its between progress and ksport. most people on megans wish that they went lower in the front, and ive seen the gc they dont go low enough for me. ton' s car on the progress and nyquill's on the ksport are about where i want to sit at... anyone know if ton's progress are custom? thanks

Thats weird because my Megans gan go pretty darn low in the front but the back is very limited. I wouldn't mind going a tad bit lower than my car is right now but its not bad. I have about a 3/4"- 1" from fender to the top of the tire gap.

ground control goes pretty low if lowered all the way but its going to ride like shit! i say your gonna have to go with the ksport cuz progress coilover only can slam if you get the version 1 which you cant anymore they only got the version 2 now and you wont be able to slam your car.

ok thanks ill probably go ksport... nyquill's car looks soooo good! anyone know what it would run you to have progress do custom spring sizes though? ive heard of this being done.

check the progress site. it says how much custom spring rates are. i think its <$50 a corner.
