Its a secret. Just use your brain while looking at the rear suspension set-up.
The stance now looks pretty low.

Sometimes I dont even think my car is low. Most entrances I cant enter or exit. A little while ago I was trying to take a new sig pic. I got in the place just fine, exiting I scraped everything possible under my car. (not the lip! Heh) I actually thought I was going to get stuck again.

Need to wait a little while as my dads truck isnt finished. Cant get stuck without a tow.

It also depends on the coilovers. I got pics of the HKS coils and you cant do what I did.
I dont think you can even remove the collars. What coils do you have again? I forgot.

Hehh... BTW. I hit a rock on the way to work today. Just a random rock in the road, like 3x1in. WOW, that was loud. Kicked it all over under my car. Im thinkin about getting a metal plate made for my gas tank. Saftey first!

ok, I'm petty sure I know exactly what you're talking about. There's a VERY noticeable difference from the two rear setup. coo.

T1R's are like the skunks.

Just checked pics too. Youll probably only need one collar removed, and lots of rear 1/4 mods.
The rear perches are as big as my modded ones are. Your rears will be able to go lower.
Not sure how the spring will sit with both collars removed though.

Ray why can't I take out my rear perch??

Is it because HKS made it so that it was upside down??

Is this what your rear spring set-up looks like?


You should be able to remove it, but removing it will only give you .25in maybe.
Any little bit helps I guess?

I thought the spring wouldnt sit right.

Yeah that is how it sits. I could take out the entire thing and run just the spring...but that doesn't sound safe haha

Your spring also looks way bigger than the Skunks.

the collars on the megans are small but for the rear it has a huge base.

id have to take pics to show you but it would drop it really low and i would have to unwind the shock that way i can adjust it to work better.

People with bags dont have any side ffects of being slammed. Speed bumps, bad roads, rubbing, none of that. You all just hit switches and make it look good for car shows.

If you arent slammed daily, its cheating.
