I apologize if this is in the wrong section or for not searching hard enough.

I am in search for the lowest setting coilovers on the market. I cannot find anything that can lower the car to tuck my 18's. I have a set of d2 coilovers and I have them on the lowest setting. I also used the preload springs to lower the car even more, doing so has made the car a little bouncy.

Does anyone have experience with coilovers that can put the car very low? Anyone have any suggestions for coilovers. Brands? models?

Something close to this

You know that handling, grip, ride will all be horrible at that height right? Since you mentioned its a bit bouncy i'm thinking you might care about ride quality.

IMO you would only lower that far for aesthetic reasons on a dedicated show car.

Just get air bags and lay rails....

Moat of the coilover suspensions on the market should tuck an 18 if adjusted right.

But do you want just the tyre tucking, or the actual wheel?

On the f2f, you will have to wind the thread right down into the reciver, then drop the spring seat rings as well.

And make sure the threaded bodies are in the right locations on the car.

bc br coilovers have lots of thread, fairly sure my sill panels would have been on the ground have i not wound them up before installing them.

Thanks for the suggestion I will look into those coilovers.

I dont think I want to go to airbags. I am just looking to tuck the tire.

Could the problem be that I am running z32 coilovers? I heard they are identical. The rears are also shorter on z32 i would think the front would be as well.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
