they go pretty damn low

they got shock body adjustability or w/e its called, meaning you can lower the shock body without losing travel. just like the tein flex

they cant really go THAT low. you can get low if you lose the preload on the springs, but that makes it ride like ***. like so:



tires are 195/50/15

well a homie is tucking his itr's (15s) on his ek hatch and he still has preload... I would assume he's in borderline preload/no preload, but they still can

What about how High can they go? I'm getting a good deal on a set and was wondering if I would be able to fit a 24.5x8.5x13" slick on the car with the suspension raised up. Input please....Sorry to thread jack

I have mine set on all the way stiff, recommended if you're going really low, and they're not too bad. Took about a day to get used to, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I like stiff suspension, though.

Uh... making a car unfunctionally low must be the idea of a disfunctional driver.

Thanks for the tip

It's not un-functional, however. My whip drives just fine
