It definitely goes a lot lower but with those TL-S wheels that stick out it will rub if I dont roll the fenders. The ride quality is actually pretty good. I dont bottom out or rub at all, even when I drive it hard, but I do have the struts set to #5 setting, #1 being the tightest, #15 being softest.....so it does slightly bounce but not bad at all. They are the Megan EZ Street series coilovers/adjustable struts......Paid $673.00 shipped. Im honestly happy with them. I also just installed Eibach front and rear sway bars....what a difference! Car stays perfectly level while turning. I just need a better set of tires.....these suck for traction. I might consider rolling the fenders and dropping it a little more.

Ingalls are $269 just for the front.....ive seen other brands a lot cheaper than that. Why Ingalls?

Are you sure you need the front kit? In most cases, unless youre slammed, only the back is out of spec.

on lowering springs i didn't need a front camber kit, but now with coils I do. Definitely a couple of inches lower though, so there's something to that ^^.

Looks nice man, how do the Eibach front and rear sways compare to the progress? Did you replace the endlinks, and if so, do the endlinks hit your stuts like the moog ones do?

The sway bars made a good noticable difference. It stays flat cornering and its smoother taking turns now. All I replaced was what came with the sway bars...those rubber grommets that get bolted to the frame. I dont know what some of you are talking about it not being that low. Its tucked under the fenders 1/4". I couldnt imagine dropping any lower unless you want a horrible bouncy ride. To me when its REALLY slammed it looks like you just turned a nice sports/luxery car into a kids car. Kinda rice. Its cool with airbags being slammed only when its parked....

You look to be about the same height as me, which IMO isnt that low
