Default How low is too low...Stance setup.

Im going to lower my car more this weekend. I did not take acuarate enough measurments on my car before hand. Is there a such thing as too low. I dont care about the looks. I really dont want to hear "there is no such thing as too low". I want to hear from thoes who track. I will probly have about just less than a 3/4 of an inch to a half an inch of a gap between the front 35 profile tire and the fender. With the rear slightly higher so the car is on a rake. Will it matter to the handling. I track the car. It also has adustable rear camber arms. Stance coilovers. I need answeres quick im doing it this weekend.

I have NO gap between a 40 series tire. Ur biggest problem is if you will have too much lean while turning and scraping body parts if ur too low.

Better get to browsing/searching around in the autocross/road section, i made it easy for you and attached a link.

I would think that as long as you are not bottoming out then you should go as low as possible, center or gravity thing.

lowering the car really throws off alignment. I feel as long as u have a good alignment, little or no body roll, stiff sway bars you should be fine. Ive seen many race cars at the track that have no roll and are less than 1'' off the ground.
