Bought some coilovers. Other than catching speed bumps is there any problems with going low? How low can you go without problems. Pics of your cars lowered would be great! smile Oh, i'm on standard 19"

I'm on Pedders coil overs, but haven't set mine that low, limiting factors would be aftermarket exh or headers, risk of splitting that expensive front bumper on a kerb, and the simple fact of just trying to get a trolley jack under the low side skirts, least if you go too low it's relatively straightforward to raise it up, I raised mine a little at the rear as was a bit too low

Here's pics with original 19s and aftermarket 20s on. Not sure what springs they are (Pedders, Walkinshaw or generic) but the previous owner to my car fitted them.

Car does often kiss speed bumps and the 20s will occasionally rub the wheel arches with 4 large passengers in. I'm actually wanting to swap to a full Pedders coilover kit because although the springs were lowered I don't think the spring rate was increased to compensate.
