Function and form type2 S14 max height?

Sup guys.

I slapped on a isis arms suspension kit, CS tie rods, cusco sway bars, and Function and form type 2 coilovers on my S14. I used to have koni yellows on eibach sportlines.

I took it in for an alignment and the drop was too low in the front so i raised the front and while i was raising the rear to match, it started to seem unsafe. As if it was running low on threads, but the rear tire is still 2 inches tucked.

what is the max safe height for these Coilovers?

Post a pic. If you can't get it aligned at the height you want, sounds like you need to go to a different alignment rack.

So i tested out how low they can go and you can drop 2 inches past the rear diff touching the ground with the exhaust removed
