Any coilover setup would get you low. I'm sure they are all about the same drop. But there is many different company's to go with. I myself am looking for someone selling some used coils since they are not cheap brand new. A few company's that make some are H&R, KW, and Megan Racing that I know off the top of my head. I think that Megan Racing is the cheapest out of all the company's, around $1,000

I've carried 3 passengers in the car fairly often, but they were all around 100-110lbs and no rubbing. Just gotta approach some curbs at and angle, but that's more cause of the front lip than anything else.

his car has coilovers. They replace the whole shock/strut assembly and are their own assembly. They are preferred but expensive cause they are adjustable in ride height and dampening controls. U dont install offsets, that means how far the tire is in or out from the hub, they are a sizing reference as part of wheels. do a lil reading b4 u buy anything

If I were driving one of these crazy dropped cars I would (accidentally) hit a speed bump or driveway apron too hard, destroy the lip, and shred my tires on the fenders!

You guys are crazy, but you're not hurting anyone so enjoy if it makes you happy!!

ur still not getting it. offset means how far the wheel is from the hub. Its a measurement of a wheel, every wheel has a diameter, width, and offset measurement. Yes if you get coilovers u can get that low and that look, of course ur wheels will be different unless u get the same ones. if offsets were illegal is australia no car would have wheels on them

Dude I have no clue how in the world you drove around town like this. I would be ****ting my pants everytime I saw a pothole, driveway, or speed bump. It does look sweet though
