how is the front not pulling the wheels in that low

it is.

[jdm babaganoosh]

so its just running on the bumpstops?

on the fronts

but i don't really want to be this low, just a game of trial and error. i'll prolly source some stock springs and cut just enough to not be running on bumpstops....or a diy coilover

def not the first time i've sacrificed comfort for looks

haters gonna hate

Not trying to hate. I've got aspire front springs cut two coils in the front and festy front springs cut 2 coils in the rear and it still rides a tad rough for my liking. But like you said, gotta sacrifice comfort for looks!

Sorry but that's just a bit absurd. And probably unsafe.

next update:

don't cut 4 and 3/4 coils out of the front. they will become too short to compress. i now am running 4 cut of rear, no coils up front

[jdm babaganoosh]

update: another 3/4 of a coil is getting cut off the front as i type this

[jdm babaganoosh]

That is LOW. I have FMS springs and I still drag the front tow hooks pulling out of driveways! IMO, I would leave the front and just put another set of springs in the rear with 3 coils cut. Looks like a very nice car! Add your location to your profile when you get a chance. It will help in the future if your looking for parts or some help.

thanks

and i like it low. may go lower if new wheels allow

[jdm babaganoosh]

Man, that's gonna be one rough ride!

I have a feeling you are going to have a load of rubbing from 15's with it that low..

that's what fender rolling, spacers, and a ziz wheel are for
