Maxed out your stance coil? I'm 24.25 drop and I still have 6inch of coil left on my stance+gr.

^I agree...there's something wrong with the installation if you have no more room to adjust down. I was a tick below 24" in the front for a little while, but on stock OE wheels. Only slight liner modding was done, but with the offset you have there (even with the natural camber) you might need a fender roll/cut.

i like how 1/3 of the replies applied to the questions i had, lol. anyways..

only the front is maxed out.
the rear still has a lot or room to go lower but it wouldn't be even with the front.

With your offset you can probly get away with the stagger oem setup.
