Default anyone lowered their roadster here? with coilover?

Anyone lowered their roadster yet? i like to see some pictures and what u lowered with. i have 20 inches on and it seems okay. but i want to really lower it. i am thinking of getting a coilover but roadster is heavier than regular z. I have a set of Z and i am really want to put them on my roadster. I just dont know if it will hold up. the roadster is one heavy pig.

not all of them use the same coilovers....

some basic coilovers have lower spring rate which is not good enough for the roadster because of it weight.

I tried to lower mine, but I was killed in the process. I believe it is impossible since E=MC².

i think the only way to lower a roadster is to put it on air.

lowering a roadster is no different than lowering a coupe - there is no roadster-specific suspsension, nor is the stock suspension in a roadster any different to my knowledge

people who are being sarcastic are people who either do not know the answer but like to act like a smart *** or they are just jackasses!!
