I'm as low as I can go with my current specs 
it's already hard to drive and my front rubs all the time lol....
When you guys measure from ground to top of fender what's your measurements?
I'm at 24" at all 4 corners

my fenders are radiused so its probably higher.
x10+10 will be a little hard to fit..but doable with roll/pull/camber.
for referance: 19x10et0 225/35/19 -9ish camber
I'll be running 18x10's +25 all around, we just tried one of my rear rims today up front to see what were working with the only issue were my brembos but we fixed it adding a 15mm spacer and the 235's i have in the rear wont work ill be using 225's or 215's not sure yet.. hopefully it will look nice ill post pics as soon as i get them installed.

and no offense to either of you...but if I have to cringe every time I hit a pebble on the road or make a turn and hit an ant's knee...I can't handle it.
I'm a puzzy...which is why I'm part of the new revolution called KindaFlush...

it sucks because of our cars suspension geometry...as it compresses, the wheel goes towards up and back, at a 2 oclock position. im by no means a suspension guru, but i believe the less expensive/propper/best way to do it is to make some custom traction rods/caster arms to fix the caster and allow the wheel to travel straight up and down under compression

its not impossible to make a suspension like your describing, but it would take somone with a lot more brains than I (and thats not saying much) to design it.
A buddy of mine has a Nissan Primera and the suspension on that car is designed that way (keeps the same alignment through entire travel range). pretty cool setup really...for a Nissan anyway, lol.
hoping someday my car is worthy of this thread, but for now, not even close. keep up the good work gents. theres some siiiick cars in here.

Why, your car is amazing. 
I think I get what you're saying Dec...as you add weight, the car toes out both front and rear...rather than just bouncing the camber from say negative 2 to negative 4 when you hit a bump. It does suck because if you load up your car for a road trip...you will likely end up doing a bunch of miles with the toe out of spec even if you recently had an alignment.

Most VW's/Audi's do the same thing in the rear, but MUCH worse than ours, lol. I think it has something to do with the shortness of the rear endlinks and when the rear suspension compresses to a certain point, it starts to pull the wheel back a bit .

I'm embarassed to post pictures of my car with all the beautiful cars in this thread. Hopefully, I can clean the car up and take better pictures in the near future. I still have to paint the roof black and add the ATLP spoilers.
Also, the rears were dropped a tad more after these pictures were taken.

There is no way that red type s is driven like that. When i was on my stocks I was almost that low for a day and the tire rubbed the fender ridiculously and it flared my fender on its own.

Any camber? I didnt have any, but my fenders were rolled as well and it would rub with every turn of the wheel... insane stuff right there then O.o
