decided to adjust my coils to the lowest setting (while still being able to turn in front) and so far i havent done any body work.
i was wondering if anyone ran into any problems at this height, is there anything that i could potentially damage riding like this?

UPDATE
so after messing around with the height yesterday, decided to just ride as low as possible

+1 ... I drive pretty low on bags. I'm on stock 16's and my fender is half an inch on top of the rim. So yes, scrapping and knocking will occur! Only got my rears rolled due to scraping when I had 20's. But turning when my car is low is not good for the front with stockies. It scrapes. Getting fronts rolled soon.

I rode on stock 16's for a while on air. I could slam the car and make full turns. I didn't ride like that, but I rode the lowest possible with the minimum psi required to hold the car up a bit.

Rolled is just clearance and pull is for more clearance. I got stockies on so my tires hella fat. When I turn, I scrape. But that's just my car. Others posted that drive low said they have no rubbing issues. Maybe I'm just beyond low =p... Envy, what psi were you running at when you had your bags? I'm at 90 psi and my frame is literally a little less than 2 inches off the ground with the UAS spacer bracket and I have a tough time turning unless I push it to 100 psi and that's another inch to barely clear a slow turn. Maybe it's just my stock shock is blown from driving to low. OP, just to give you an idea, if you lower your front 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 more and the back half an inch, that's how low I'm driving. Yours barely scrapes here and there, imagine how bad mine scrapes on turns.

Roll and pull the fronts and you should be golden. slap on some spacers and the stockers look pretty good.
Things to watch: control arm and ball joints. Ridding low puts a lot of extra stress on them
