I wouldn't go to low, it messes up the balance of the car, my friend is lucky to be alive after lowering his car to much, hit a corner and due to it being unstable because of it, his back end came right out and into a highway sign.

funny that im from the northeast.
they are adr cyphers and they are sprint springs.
i have since changed them to eibach pro kit. the sprints were too low in the front and i was having issuse with low parking lots and speed bumps.

What's the size/depth/offset of your wheels?
Yeah, sprint springs are unbeleivably low. Do you feel the handling is better with the eibachs? Car looks great, good job.

I know a fair bit about slaming a car down low, im very into the V dub scene, Euro style, the whole thing is to get it as low as possible, i have seen cars lowerd 80mm, now thats low.
these are around 60-80mm drop, on a polo, 80 is about as low as you can go with out your car handeling dangerously.
I know they are totaly difforent cars but the principle of good handeling still applies

The size of the wheels are 19x 8.5 all around with an offset of 35 I think.
I love how it handled with the sprint springs but I live near a bunch of speed bumps and stores with low parking lots. The eibach has worked out just fine but I just wish the front were a little lower.
\thanks by the way
