i got some rs type adj coilovers and i was wondering if anyone knows how far i can drop my 97 teg gs before i gotta buy camber kits? i really aint got the cash for the camber kits so im only gonna go as low as i can with stock adjstments
and if yall are wondering, yes i got new stuts too, tokico blues
any sugestions on drop?

 

slam it to the floor

 

Around 2" is where it starts affecting camber and would get rid alot of fender gap

 

How about 2.25 front and about 2 rear? Camber corrected in the pic, and it used to be lower. The car was on Tein RS coil-overs at that time, now it is on Tein SS. Pretty soon I will be back to stock.

don't go lower than an inch and a half.

 

2.5" all the way around...

 

slam it as low as it can go i would if i could find some freekin koni struts for a good deal.

 

Nothing like a slammed teg

 

SLAM IT (seriously)

 

2.25 is the best imho. but who cares what i think......

Put it on the ground. You will enjoy it more. Just becareful of speedbumps, I know. I cracked my resinator last night.

 

In fremont/Newark the roads are cool here, never had problem with bottoming out.

this sounds safe

 

slam it all the way in the front and jus a tad bit in the back and just buy a new oil pan wen u dent it haha

 

You can go 2" lower without camber kits no problem, as long as you get it aligned. *and before anyone tries to say otherwise, I am proof that it will be fine*

However those Tokico shocks will not last the abuse of coilovers. They really more suited to be just OEM replacement shocks.

I'm at that height with GC coils (400/400 rates) on Koni Yellows, with GC extended top hats, and I'm sitting on the bump stops. Seriously, they are helping to hold the car up in front. I really don't think it can be that good for the car though, so I need to find a way to get some suspension travel. I've also got rubbing issues on driveways (tire rubs the chassis) with 205/45-16s, but thats not much of an issue.

Your final ride height should be decided by:
1) Your spring rates, higher can go lower without bottoming.
2) What you use the car for, you can go too low for max performance.
3) How bad the roads and how steep the driveways you need to drive regularly are, if its a street car.
