Lowered about 2" on coilovers. I have 3.25" of clearance for the oil pan.

Edit: my web server is currently down, i'll check on the pic later.

You can slam it just like any other engine, just get really stiff springs and run 16's. That'll keep the oil pan a good 5 inches off the ground.

Look at the pic above, I'm on 16's and I have 3 1/2" max. Its really not a big deal though, I just have to go slow in and out of parking lots.

My boy has one, he's running 205/45/16's. The body isn't really slammed on the tires, it's right above it and he doesn't have any problems. He's high enough to put a VIS lip on it and not worry about scrapping.

Mines on 205 45 16's too. I have about enough gap to stick my thumb between the tire and fender, and that's all. I'm about to make myself a home depot lip, and we'll see how long that lasts. I pretty confident I'll crack it quickly, which is why I won't spend much money on one.

I agree. I'm just saying that it's possible. I wouldn't do either.
