BTW you look pretty low with ur recent setup just curious, but how was the ride since u were that low. knowing that our cars arent really known to be slammed.

Look at the picture above. He's running his suspension waaay too low. Given time, any shock is going to blow out set like that.

A little heads up...

Just because a set of coilovers may allow you to slam your car doesn't mean that you should slam your car, or that it will work properly when ran that way.

Read the FAQs for more info.

Better question--do you know why the DC5 doesn't like to be lower than 1.5"-1.8"?

actually I don't know. I guess it has to do with the way it drives or something.

Why won't you go google it or something if you don't know.

it's not really the towing issue, as it negatively affects your cars ability to handle when you ride that low. Hopefully Todd can digress more about this as he is more knowledgeable about this subject.

edit: oh, i just saw todd's post. to me. btw, todd knows what he is talking about.
