powered by max coilovers will get you as low as you want! be sure to get their toe arm for slammed cars, and their matching camber arm too.

if all you're concerned with is slamming it for photo shoots, airbags wouldn't be a bad idea. but if you actually want to track your car or enjoy its handling then just get a good set of coilovers and an origin kit, you won't even have to slam it for it to be on the ground, the origin kit looks low as is.

I gotta go with PBM coils. Every dumped SD car is on them. They have like, the best price ever and I am told they are super durable.
And yeah. My Silkroads had 8-way adjustments. And it was fucking NICE. You could actually feel what the difference was. But I couldn't brag to all my JDM friends that had 64-way adjustable Megans |

You fuck around with the ride height, you fuck around with the aligment...so that may not be something you wanna do on a regular basis cuz your alignment will be off every single time you mess around with it... |

Is there even a 40 way ajustable? haha... You should really just get good track hieght coilovers so that you have good handling and then at shows lower it. Don't go spend money on shit that is going to mess with your peformance. Also, your wheels won't bend that much when you drop it so most people won't even notice. Just throwin' my two cents in...

By that I mean you can't tell the difference from maybe max stiff and max soft. so really its just 2 way adjustable with 38 clicks in between. and wider stance does make a difference... but with your logic you dont NEED a car or the internet anyways... but if you WANT quality coilovers that go low Powered By Max is what i recommend.

I mean, you can tell a difference between max stiff and soft. Kind of like wiper speed. you have low, med, and high. then you have the adjustment knob to get it juuuuuuust right. anyway... quality and lowness. PBM def. Just thought I'd give another opinion. |

Alot of shock adjusters don't click when you turn them, so you could really divide the adjustment up as small as you want. The number of adjustments doesn't really affect the adjustment range anyway.

Just shut up all you guys getting butt hurt defending your friend's coilovers or whatever.
All that adjustability is just window dressing to sell a product. Megans have 32 way adjustability or some crap, but you can't even tell the difference between 8 and 10. If you want coilovers Stance for S chassis were specially built to go low. Pretty much any coilover can go low, you just gotta know what to do during installation. If you gotta ask what kind of coilovers you should get you need to do more research. Everyone in here is going to have a skewed opinion based on what they own/owned. I've had Tein SS- KTS- KBee- Tein Super Drift In that order and I consider the last set the best set of coilovers I've ever owned.

I put my stances down as low as they would go last night and I couldn't even sit the car all the way down, the wheels were hitting the top of the inner fenders, the body kit was hitting the ground up front, and the rear housing was on the ground, I just about couldn't get it back up to lift it.
But back "Off" topic, you need to worry about wearing your axle joints changing the ride height that often. |
