I can go another 2 inches on the coilover which translates to way more than 2" on the car. I have custom JIC Magic coilovers with spring rates of 13F/8R. The coilovers were marked on the box as the VIP line of coils, but they were sold as FLT-TAR2:

The CRAZZZY thing is he can drop the car to the ground any day. I cant believe how much lower his car can go with those coils. I know the roads he drives on and he is pushing it as it is Props to him for having it so low

His tires are perfect and have nothing to do with how low the car is. He can go lower but you dont drive on the roads we do He rubs his fender up front going down my driveway...and the first I might add to have done that I only rub my front lip and that doesnt show anything.

Vik I am rubbing a little up front now. Nothing major but noticed it when I had the car on the lift. I think its only when I have it fully turned and backing up and a little bit going up my driveway.

At first I thought it was just the spring rates, but I am lowered about 2" all around now and have another 2" on the coilover. The website says the FLT-TAR2 for our car lowers the car 2.5". Also, my coils don't have a bottom spring locking nut. It has a hex bolt. They were custom ordered. So I would think that qualifies as custom

I got PS2s. There is no way I am getting rid of these tires. It would be such a waste of money. I live in Chicago. I dodge potholes everyday. Trust me, I need the protection.

Is it hitting metal or just fender liner?
