you can go that low on stock struts, but it will ride like complete ***....trust me. Its not worth it....

Heres mine at 3 threads from the lowest you can go...



I have since raised it up considerably. Instead of 3 threads from the bottom, now I am at 16 threads and it sits right on tire basically and rides 100x better....

mines wasn't bad considering I had DIY top hats. I had fat top hats in the rear since it didn't hit or affect anything. for the fronts though, you would have to tilt your hood for better clearance.

I slammed it for looks back in 99. This was way before my swap or my Tein HA's.

It actually wasn't too bad...I had kyb agx's (I know...shitty) but it didn't bounce like most cars did that low.

It rode kind of rough, but it wasn't nearly as bad as you would think it would be. It was nice too, no body roll at all. The higher spring rates helped ALOT
