I need your help on that one Ray! How did you roll/pull your rear fenders?
Once that's done I'll go lower.

No problem man. Just be warned 165's are pretty damn thin and give loads of stretch. And they aren't the best tyres in the world either!

uhh not necessarily. I think I-4 has been under construction since florida was one of the 13 original colonies, and SR-50 basically has STAIRWELLS in the middle of the road. Winter Park was built on top of a drained swamp, alot of the roads are either sinking into the ground or have pipes covered in fresh loose asphalt running across. not to mention Maitland and Winter Park LOVE brick roads.

Just curious to know braziers, can your bc coilovers drop your car any lower or is that the lowest they go? I'm awaiting postage on a set of BC racing coilovers ... your car & stance looks sick btw.

The front can go about an inch lower than it is now, which is about an inch and half lower than in those pictures.
My car is sitting pretty rediculous at the front right about now, I'll post up pics later.

The rear is on it's lowest normal setting in those pics. That's the adjuster rings taken out and the spring sitting on the coilover perch/cup thing you get with the kit.
You can take out the cup and it drops the car another couple of inches, but you have no adjustment.
The other week, I cut the bottom part of the perch/cup, lost about an inch in total, and put a single adjuster ring back on each side, so I have adjustment. That's the best to get it sitting low.
Ray did it on his Fit too.
