Default Anyone have a really dropped 350

Are there any really lowered 350's on this site, If you have one can you post a pic and let me know how you did it. I'm looking for suspension for my car but I am looking for a nice drop. Most coilovers I see lower to a max of 2", is that enough? And I'm not talking about something that I can use to lower at a show, I want to drive it at that height.

BTW I know alot of people are going to say that it will ruin the car or the performance but I don't really care....

anything over .8” drop will make your camber impossible to be within factory camber specifications make sure you get a camber kit (400 bucks) besides that I dont think it will ruin the car... pain the the A** for speed bumps tho never seen over a 1" drop advertised myself tho'

getting rid of the tire gap i hardly feel is "ricey", and ricey being an overused term. Rice is considered mainly representing something you dont have. IE type-r badges on a non type-r car. Doing things to enhance the car visualy is making it unique and different, and although most kits are not my taste, i can respect they are different and want to stand out. Lowering it also usually means increased spring rates, for less roll, but a harsher ride. This aids performance. Also, many people have been able to pull their camber within spec without an aftermarket camber kit, just an alignment. Tanabe adverties a 1.5inch drop, and its damn nice.

Good luck.

If you want visual reference this is one of the lowest I've seen in the Japanese magazines. Not sure how far down they went but it's pretty extreme. Also note that the wheels are 20"
