As the topic states, who makes the LOWEST possible drop out of the box coilovers?

Thanks!

D2 and Ksports are basically the same thing. They will lay the front bumper on the ground.

i'd say if it was possible with tiny wheels you could probably do close to a 10 inch front drop.

sway bar would hits the unibody before the bumper lays out, you know 10 inches is being a little ambitious.

what do you mean by safe? as far as cali law no piece of metal can hang lower than the rim. and the middle of your headlights must be at least 22 inches off the ground. so in reality if you got 20's with a 25 series tire you could make the plastic bodyparts of your car scrape the ground and actualy be legal.

if you dump it so low that u can;t really drive over the reflectors in the street and you very narrow , very tiny wheels and don't care about legality or ruining tires and multiple other suspension components it is possible. turning may be a problem though.


if they have a lip kit and cheat they can easiy have it on the ground and still be able to turn their front wheels.

Haha alright, let me rephrase that, by safe, i mean the wheels wont rub at full turn, but still have as small of a gap as possible, or no gap what-so-ever....of course. :-)
