LOL, naw im not on 21's.
So I slammed the fronts and made sure they were at the lowest setting. no luck :/ The spring in front compressed to 7 inches which is the max it can go because of the tread. Also the shock is lowered all the way. It is not slammed at all. I am tucking -1.5 fingers though. Yes negative 1.5 fingers. about an inch and a half lower than my tein s-techs. Im running 225/40/18s btw. So because of that, I will be taking off 2 rings when i get the chance which should give me a 1 inch drop and then hopefully it will settle as well. I want it SLAMMED.
As for the rears, I still have 1 inch of tread to lower the spring perches more and lots of tread left to lower the shock more too. So i don't know if that equals more slammage, but i'll see when I get the chance.
Anyway here are some pics of the rears.
I'm loving the stance from the rear.
then both of these have 1 inch of tread left to lower the spring perch.
And This one is a very tight fit. The bolt scares me when ever I go over bumps, but no rub at all. I was really surprised. I can slide a credit card through it. xP
I need more time to play with these more. I NEED it slammed. Otherwise very great coilovers for the price and amount of adjustability it can do.

Thanks! Sorry, No full side pics yet because the Fronts aren't low enough for my liking. I did adjust the rear perches like aroddalobster, but I can go about an inch more.
As for the fronts, I believe there are only 2 ways to lower it when it's at the lowest setting. One of them is to take out the 2 rings just under the 1st spring perch, which should give 1-2 inches more and keep full shock travel. The other one is to lose all pre-load and let the shock be compressed by the weight of the car, but you lose shock travel and will lead you to a blown shock faster.

So i was able to finish adjusting the fronts last night. I took out the 2 rings and shortened the coilover to the max. I am SLAMMED and it still needs to settle xD. I adjusted it so its about 1 inch above my rim. When it settles, it should tuck a bit more. With my offset and wide wheels, I was really surprised when i turned my wheel because it was amazing. I'll Finish up everything tomorrow, give it a good wash, and take some pics.
