have you tried to extend your top hats yet? only other thing to do besides buying new coil overs is to take out the bump stops, but even then your ride might not be that good(bouncy).

there is a warning that comes with the struts stating excessive lowering of vehicle can cause struts to fail and not covered under warranty. just a warning.

you say you got ground controls already.. those things can bring your car down to the ground. you'll need to extend your top hats so you get some sort of shock travel. or even buying those blues would be a waste. but yeah da bodies in general are higher then most cars so even if you bring it down all the way, it might not looked dropped but it is.

your doing something wrong. my friend's DA was dumped on GC, ebay ****, and Skunk2. you probably have the back on the front and front on the back. make sure you check them.

Extended top hats do not affect how low you can go.

Spring height, on the other hand, does affect it. Buy some shorter GC springs.
