HOW LOW can you go????
Well, now that the HKS LS+ coilovers are finally settled, my car height looks exactly like all the JDM Aristo photos y'all see in the mags and the Internet. Functionally speaking, it's not very good to keep the height this low, but man it's just soooo nice to look at......

Hey DGOT20s,
Is the pic of the car you posted from Australia? If so, the owner is Indonesian and he's riding on 20s Dronnel like you.
I tell you it's a curse among us Indonesians. But since he's riding on 20's, his car is technically an inch higher than mine if you put us side by side, coz I am only on 19s. Trust me, he has much less trouble going over bumps and potholes than me, especially since he's not driving a jzs161 and therefore no turbo downpipe.....ack!

The plate is def foreign though!Yeah you are technically lower, it just that the larger wheel create an illusion of lowness being so close to the fender (or IN the fender LOL).
I swear you Indo guys love the SLAMDANCE!! You gotta see some of the cars over on M/B world!!

B_Cruz,
This is the lowest I can go without rubbing my front wheels when turning (making a u-turn) and without using airbags. The coilovers are set at its maximum drop in the front (I think HKS knows that any lower and I won't be able to turn) and 2/3 down at the rear (any lower and I will be riding on mufflers and not wheels....).
The VIP mags Aristo pics are usually on airbags, and I heard stories that those crazy owners actually remove the springs from their cars and let their car sit on the shocks/bump stops just to take pics of how low their cars are. The Fabulous Benz are so low that the bottom of its front lip is actually 3/4 way lower than the pavement curb!!!!!
I did say maximum drop while still drivable.....ahahaha.

Yep, I am positive that's owned by an Indonesian living in Australia...
Probably can check more of his car at autoshow.permaisuri.com and do a search for Lexus GS or something...
