Yeahhh I am dropped on Teins. I was hoping to get a better picture today but the weather permits me from getting a better one. So hopefully by the end of the week I will have a better view of how low it currently is sitting. I do agree with you and I think I will go lower but before I do I want to let them settle in and then take some measurements.

Adjusting them is the easy part, so I want to allow them to settle in before I make any further adjustments to them. I also want to take care of a few maintenance issue that I am currently going through ATM. Once those are back to normal working conditions, then I might consider lowering it a little more.

trust me, with teins you won't be able to go that low

IDK who else dropped their cars all the way with teins, but the OP I believe swapped springs to get to that height

Yes but I would never drop my car that low. That's ridiculous! I have a few more pictures that I just took. I will add them within the next 10 minutes. I hope these angles are better for you to see where my car is currently sitting.

I found a better example, same guy, but when he first dropped the car.

If you think his low, is low.... you have some searching to do lol

Correct!! I agree that I think where I have it currently is not low enough which I said already and if you were to read my other posts then you would know that I will be adjusting them soon. Anyways here are some side views from the front bumper:

Driver Side:



Passenger Side:

Yeah, those are better pics !
It appears as though your front could benefit from another 1.5" lower, IMO.

Can you move more to the front looking down the side to see more of how the wheel sits in the wheel well.

Do you rub at all or have you not hit a big enough bump yet

I think what he meant was do the tires rub the fenders

Ohh in that case no. They don't rub. Now I am not sure if they will when I decide to lower the car even more but I will let you know then.
