Can drop it 1 more inch If I need, but then when my doors open they will will hit the curb I am using bump stops and have not had to worry about the harness in the fender. I have less than 3in clearance between my lip and the pavement.

I have Stance on my SC300 and I love them. The car doesn't bounce over bumps. And it's not stiff. Everyone who gets in. Is surprised how good it rides being that low. I had HKS hiper max's on my 240 and that sucker was stiff!!

When you set this up what kind of pre-load did you put on the springs. Your ride looks great. Not sure if I want to go that low. I can raise it up if I want correct?

not going on the track, but I am really sold on these Gixxer-Drews. I just purchased some extra top hats so I can assemble these on a bench and have them ready to go. I have to change out 4 control arms also. SO gonna be fun to see how it rides after such extreme repairs.

To each his own. I just don't really dig the lowering. Sure there is a certain amount of lowering that looks good with some of these body kits. But I am not wanting to buy a suspension setup just soo I can go low. Andrew (AKA Gixxer_Drew) runs or ran his ride at stock height because on the forums he said handling a ride quality suffer asa you go lower. These seem right up my alley.

Yes you can ride WAY HIGHER than stock. I wish I had pics of it set at max height right after install.
My spring rates:
600 front
450 rear
Rides pretty stiff, little harsher than stock C5 Z06 suspension. I have to be careful over speed bumps, but let's me go around corners stupid fast. Very neutral with 245/40-18 all the way around. Understeers with staggered tires.
Bumpstops are still in great condition after 2 years of riding that low.
