do you have A arms up front? what about the rear, camber arms and toe bolts?

You should be able to run -2 degrees with no issues and long as your toe is good.

adjusting the coilovers is not to difficult at all.

i just threw up a poll in a new thread to check inputs. My camber as of right now up front is -1.6 for both (very close to factory spec) . rear, I do have camber links and they are within spec toe is good for front and rear. no front camber arms.... yet haha.

Let me say my $.02 worth... I'm lower then most and I push my car to the limits, my front bumper is still alive..lol the only thing I scrap are under the front bumper corners, frame and that is about it... It's funny hearing people scared that they are going to rip of their exhaust. That is not going to happen as our exhaust sits up above our frame.

So in a nut shell do it and don't look back,,, Here are some pics





And one of me and my homeboy Z33allme

man if you want help adjusting the coilovers just let me know. I can help when I have free time.

If you are going to go lower though, I would suggest something to help adjust the camber.

Please don't even try to consider your car as slammed unless you have no finger gap in front/rear

You're going to pay someone $20 to adjust your height? wtf? Do you have hands or do you just like handing out money?

He might have hands but maybe he doesn't have the time, tools, space or knowledge.
