it is on the lowest setting, here is 90 DGRZ's review and pics of them https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...overs-ge8.html, he modified it a bit to go lower but i didnt want to modify mine, its low enough, if i go any lower i would be rubbing, plus i have thicker rubber also than 90 DGRZ, im running 205/45/17, when i need new tires im gonna get 205/40/17 or 195/45/17, not sure yet.

cool thanks for the info.. i think if ur gunna go with a smaller tire the 195 would probably be better, it would take away any rubbung the 205s produce

i dont rub when im just cruising or take normal turns, the only time i rub is on the passenger side front when i take hard right turns and when i hit hard bumps or dips. wouldn't the 40 series tire help with that too?

Normally I'm not a big fan of excessive lowering but you've got a winner here, it doesn't look akward like I've seen on other's rides, very nice.

well if ur not rubbin to much then it should be fine .. but the 195 are a lil thinner to they would fit uder the fenders better undr hard turning.. but smaller profile 205/40 sould give u the space u need

The new stance is perfect, were your stock shocks blown from running the Tanabes? I think my Eibachs have blown mine, the car has gotten a lot bouncier and has more body roll than when i first installed them.

I see on the Megan site MSRP is a tad over a grand, did you get a better deal than this? Not dissing, but that seems steep for Taiwanese coil overs.
