New Coilovers 3" drop?!
Ok I just bought some new coilovers and the old owner is telling me that the minimum you can lower the coils is 3". Thats really low, I don't want to drop it this low. Does this sound right? and if so is there a way to fix this?

dude 3 inches is freakin low!...1.5-2 makes it look clean with a lil tuck....
slammed with the top of the tire all the way in looks nasty and will be hard to drive around....well....also depends on the size of your wheels....you could be right in your case....

Depends on the wheel/tire size. In general most people run 15's with a 205/50 tire and a 1.5"-2" drop does not tuck by any means.

so your telling me you could tuck your tires without lowering ur car?

isnt "tuck" a factor of loweing and wheel size? and doesnt bigger wheels make ur car slightly higer?...

Re: (Jay-Dee-Em)
The bigger the wheel/tire combo the less drop it takes to "tuck" the top of the tire. However, the over all ride height will be greater.

Actually it does, I have Fat 5's on my car w/ 2" drop and the fender sits right on top of the tire.
