    The pictures you posted is a friend of mines car here are some pictures of it that I took. He is lower than I am and I believe I am at 12.5in in the front. If I remember correctly he still has room to go lower. The car rides very well and I was impressed with the coilovers.

    I like that. Thank you for sharing those pictures, I've emailed Terry from fortune auto asking which of the two new coilovers will give me a similar or slightly higher ride height.

    What rates is your friend on?

    Softest available. I think it is 5 and 4k if I remember. Sawyer will probably know for sure.

    that probably explains the giganticly long springs, need them with soft rates to keep them from binding. I'm planning 8/6k If i get them.

    The low setting is similar to the previous generation.
    The higher setting is more for function and performance.
    FA emailed me this, the previous generation shown above is the "low" style.

    i was thinking about getting these coilovers too in f/r 8k/6k. i was hoping they would accomplish the fitment/stance like the ones in the pictures posted above. were wheel spacers required to get it to look that way? and is that on like, full low ride height? i'm still running on my stock suspension and daisies, but in the near future will probably mount my 15x7 rims (previous owner said he ran 205's on them.. sounds a bit wide; might just do 195)

    I went another direction and bought xida's instead. Sorry bud, the questions you're asking is what nobody could answer me, even fortune auto. That's why I didn't buy them.

    Go to the 949 Racing site and you'll see that Emilio states that 195 tires are o.k. on 6UL 15X8's. I'm currently wearing 205/50 on my 15X6 BBS, and they work just fine. I'll be getting 15X8 6Uls with 205/50 RE11's next spring.
