^^ see with 20s that extra 3/4 would tuck most of the sidewall. problem is i'm gonna be going some fairly lightweight staggered 19s as I wanna be able to go pretty low to show off at meets or whatever but then raise up and stiffen up for the track (drags) every now and then when my crew goes up there.

BC-Racing coilovers also provide a decent drop--enough to scrape your undercarriage.

no. if you wanna go real low, dont buy cs. its teins "comfort sport" edition of coilovers... the other ones like the ss and the ha can really be slammed out if done right, but cs limits you... there have been a lot of people over the years that bought the cs hoping to slam their **** real low and ended up slightly disappointed...but the ride quality is awesome compared to others, imo.

CS V2s using Exact Motorsports Front and rear RCAs to get another inch drop.





Extensive inner front fender well mods required.
