So yes, I have coilovers, and she will also have coilovers in the next week as well.
Just saying "moar lower" for basically adding the weight of one heavy person in the car doesnt seem like much.
look, i started arguing, but i don't really get why...

sure, i didn't slam my car - - actually the rear is as high as it goes and im still 1.5" lower than stock

but i didnt go for slammed this year. i wanted a nice drop but w/ the adjustable dampening and cooperation of a coilover setup vs springs and stock shocks....

i had the front jacked up to remove the coilovers for the winter, but i couldnt get the top but off the strut w/ the tools i had. since the ride height in the front was bugging me since i put in the coilovers, i decided to lower it to where i wanted it.....thought id share the pics

as for the racing comment, i auto-x intermittently and if i was much lower id rub on a hard bump...and i don't want that

*sigh* im tired
