Megan Coilovers, slammed for the dragon. I couldn't get over speedbumps when I got back home, so I had to lift up about 3/4 of an inch. But everything is golden now, and I like riding loooowwwwww..... And for the cost, these are some very nice coilovers, imho. Some have had travel issues with them, but Megan has since fixed, and sent fixes to everyone who'd requested them I believe.

Hehehe... I dunno fj0... Any lower and you may end up like I was, scraping speedbumps in parking lots. Still fun tho!

BTW, nice wheels Kal.

you arent slammed until you run wheel/tire combos that have a total circumfrence around 23 or lower

15s and 16s ftw

How wide you talking and at what offset? Depending on those i'll give you 2nd place. 18x8 (maybe 9) iForged Equips ftw haha.. yea thats what i want, one can dream can't they...

I'm really liking those 949 racing 15x8 wheels... those would look schweet

'Scuse me?!?!? I think you mean diameter, no? A 23" circumference would give you a total OD of about 7.6 inches. Um.... y'at least need something bigger than the rotors.

you could never pull off 18x8 or 18x9....those require offsets in the 30s....you would never be able to even lower it more than .5 inches from stock. Unlike the 7's...8's and especially 9's require pokage

I dont know what my next setup will be....currently looking at 16x7 front 16x8 rear, low offsets (can be whatever as the wheels are 3 piece)

Im on 17's and Im not sure how much I can slam them, they are pretty wide 7.5 with 215 tires. I would love to slam it more, I think I will next time Im home, I got my camber all tuned in now so I think I can take it down a notch or two

I REEEEEEEEAAALLLLY like this car!! The tires and wheels, and especially the stance, are all PERFECT. Even the bronze-ish color of the wheels is great with the B/W paint. I don't want my car quite this low for everyday driving, but I don't think you can get a better looking stance.

Per pm from Cooldaddy - 215/45-17 on 17x7.5 wheels.

I agree, it looks perfect.
