If you just want to go low for the street in that price range, talk to tiltmode and get in on the powertrix group buy. The bilstein PSS9 coilovers should be the choice if you are willing to spend a little more.
That's what I was going to say. Powertrix coilovers are very similar to stance but you get the correct springs and the valving is a bit better. Meaning when you adjust the dampening you can actually feel it. You can do anything from stock height to as low as you can go with those things and they perform solid on the street as well as the track from my experience.

With the group buy pricing they are cheaper than the Stance's as well.

The way I see it, if your gonna be keeping your ride for a while, might as well buy somethin that you won't regret later on. Dont rush it and do your hmw on it!

I knew this should have been posted from the beginning, I won't even bother with trying to explain the difference between "could" and "should"

Team is just a troll with good intentions.

Wow, the RP03's look great in those close up shots, love the finish

In regard to your PM, you can definitely get that desired ride height!

honestly I'm looking at knock offs... the roads are to shitty where I live to justify ripping up 3k+ wheels. If you ever been to Reno you know what I'm talking about... I drive into Tahoe a lot also which rips up wheels I drive through 3 construction zones a day both ways on my commute. the extra 2 k is better suited spent on other things for me.
in any case fake wheels get me the look I want and maintain factory wheel weight... that's good enough for me to trash on a DD.

I was looking at your rear fender on the pic above... looks like they need a roll. look like the tire kinda pulled the tab downwards.

Nah, got lots of clearence in the rears. My front does rub the inner liner when turning. I guess my car just settled low? Maybe the reason is before I preloaded my suspension I filled my tank and added weight to my car. LOL!
