How low do the rears go and how much did you get those coils for?

I think the red will make more sense when everythings on.

I got the coils custom ordered ultra low spec. So I could lower the rears another 3-4 inches more if i wanted

handling is improved sooo much. you notice it immediately. but i left them pretty stiff, the front is on 5 and the back is at 10. and it rides really nice, not too stiff but doesn't dip down over bumps. Definately satisfied with them
