I just got coilovers put on, and told the place to drop it as far as it can without rubbin, and this is what they did! It looks like stock height! I have 17 inche rims on it, so tell me all u out there with 17's how far u dropped urs and could i see pix? Let me know how far u dropped it too if u could, and one last thing, i just got my headlights and grill, so thats why there isnt one in the pictures...
i bought the entire set of wheels with tires off of a friend, never cared to look what size tires they are, because as far as i knew, they fit, so why bother to look. Since he was probably home, id just call to have him check or tell me if he knew off the top of his head.
1)Go to autozone, buy a jack for $17.99 and jackstands for $24.99
2)Jack up car, place on new jackstands
3)Remove wheels
4)Adjust coils down one inch
5)Drive around for a few days, see if it rubs. If it does, roll the fenders or raise it back up. Once you get it to the height you want, have it aligned, and enjoy
Only way you can get it at the height you want is to adjust it yourself, and see what you can live with. Finding the right height is kinda tough, it'll take you 2-3 tries to get a height you want and find the limits of your car,
