Hi Ab-ab,

You'll really have to wait until Wong_Edan logs on but I think he cut all 4 with stock shocks.

I'll try to lower the car more, I want to slam it for the Brisbane AutoSalon in September, hehehe. That picture was with my cut Eibach, no idea how many coil my friend cut, but only 2.5 coil left for the front springs. Rear spring only 1 coil cut. And yes, i was using my stock shocks, ride was horrible compare to the Coilover one, but still acceptable

Is the lowest C class in Seattle ever got in the Permaisuri?? just wondering, hehehe.

I looked into my original wheels and it come with 37. Well the wheels just fit perfectly, I can even use the original bolt, without the need of machining them.

It's impossible to cut the front one as each coil has different size. For the rear one I'll replace the spring with my eibach one.

the fabulous kit makes the car look cheap. There are some much better body kits out there if you want to modify your car.

Wong Edan,

Im thinking of that too,.. I am using H&R coilover right now,..and i couldnt drop my car (espcially the front one) to the extent i want. I'm thinking of replacing both the front and the rear with the H&R springs + stock shocks and cut the coils. But the ride will be very very bumpy..I guess I had no other choice,...hehe

Ab-ab, the front coilover can be dropped up to 2 inches, but to be able to do that u will need a low offset wheels, i need to put 15mm of spacer for my front wheels, so i can lower it at the lowest level :p. Btw, how low can u dropped your rear one?? mine is not that low and i'm thinking there could be sth wrong with the installation.

My LD1 is 3 pieces

Wong Edan,

I use maya tts with offset 31, I also need to use spacer for the front wheels since the front tires are rubbing the spring. I use 5mm spacer, i try not to use more than that because i'm afraid i cant turn my steering wheel more than 1/4 after i lower it. For my rear part, I still have a finger (kelingking :P) to go until my fender touch my wheels lips. I'm not sure whether it is the lowest or not but im trying to check it myself probably later next week. Do you have msn? could you please add me to ure list my email is ab2_js@hotmail.com or if possible drop me an email (ngomong di imel lebih enak), thanks dude
