If anyone can tell me how low the coilover will go. Is it possible to drop the car onto the ground? I'm looking to sit 3 inches from the pinch rail to the ground is this possible with these coilovers?
Borrowed a picture from thread linked below, looks like they go pretty low. I just ordered ST coilovers through TheSuspensionSource, only a few bucks more and reports say they ride better.
I have mine on STs. I was about 3 1/4" off the ground with tons of threads left to lower it more, before I lifted it up this weekend for winter. I would guess I could have easily dropped another 3/4".

You should be able to get that low, I've never tried as that isn't ideal for performance. But if your going for the look that's another thing.
I read a lot about how an inch is the optimal lowering for performance. Is that generally for springs? Is there another accepted "general number" for lowering on coilovers for best performance?
