Default Car is slammed

my car is pretty dumped right now and I'm running coilovers with stock rear shocks and kyb gr2 shocks up front......the gr2's arnt to bad and seem to be doing alrite but heres my question I'm gonna lower it another 1/2 an inch which will make it have absolutly no wheel gap at all do you think with gr-2's all around it will be able to handle that drop without putting my tailbone to the test?

i personally like the lowered look rather than the slammed, be sure your not going to dent your oil pan if you hit a bump or anything. depending on the coilovers you get it might be really stiff or it might be like cut springs, choose wisely.

Doing this so the car handles like its on rails and cause I dispise wheel gap and since I had to swap out the shocks I figured I'd lower it a bit more then it was. No flame taken everyone has their own opinions and likes/dislikes

oh yeh I guess the car isn't really dumped I just want their to be no wheel gap I'm running 16inch inch wheels with 205/40r tyres and I love the way the car handles lowered with fr/rr strut tower bars I figured I'd lower her a bit more to satisfy myself with how it looks and I'm sure it wont hurt the handling also camber kit on the way

KYB GR2's are pretty much a stock replacement...

I can only see them blowing, with anything other then stock..
invest in some good shocks, and you will never look back.

I already have gr2 shocks up front am I looking at problems when cornering if I get better stiffer shocks out back? cause the front wouldn't be as stiff as the back
