when u say the 'radiator bar' do you mean the first bit of chassy u can see when you look under the front of the car? I checked mine and it sits ~180mm from the ground and my car is pretty low... if yours is ~120+30 (150mm) that is damn low...

for reference, my rim-centre to guard distance is a bit less than 320mm.

does that sond right to u?

ok, well i got the measure tape out, put the rears back in to measure and the centre of rim to guard distance is 320mm.

Thats with the king spring on the highest setting, each setting drops exactly 10mm and there are 4 settings to go lower.

i was just estimating earlier. sorry about that.

thats low

with the king springs do the shocks still bottom-out on the highest setting?

[bbenny]

Yeah they do with the king springs, i would run either a taller or stiffer spring. i found the fronts would bottom out with big hits, the shocks themselves felt awesome with the standard springs, but being the idiot i am, i wanted to drop it damn low, and ended up needing coil-overs to do that, i got Teins and they are no where nere as nice a ride hehe... but it looks good damn low

[bbenny]

so if you have standard springs you can drop it up to 40mm otherwise get some aftermarket ones if you wanna go lower.
