Anyone have pics of Bilstein Coilovers set to the lowest setting?

I have them and these are not the coilovers for you if you want that slammed look. I have the rears (pictured) at their lowest setting and that is probably not low enough for most people. Keep in mind though, the wheel/tire combo pictured is 275/35/18 which is a full inch shorter than most 19" setups.
The fronts have a greater adjustment range but you're not going to want to slam the front or it will look raked. There are a few members that have replaced the rear progressive spring and had the shocks revalved. Not sure if doing so drops it any further.

Just run them with the proper height rear tire. You will have 1/2 inch less fender gap with the proper rear tires.

i would suggest taking a look at stance lx+ coilovers or the KW V2, V3's. They go a bit lower than the Bilsteins and have some of the comfort characteristics that the Bilsteins have. I imagine it wont be AS comfortable because of the car being a bit lower, but it does give some comfort feel.

at their highest setting, they are an inch lower than stock...at their lowest, a bit over an inch and a half, similar drop range to the rear of a KW

I wanted my rear lower...I did A TON of research and will probably be flamed, but I cut the rear helper spring. Again, this really didn't effect the ride at all but helped get me a tad bit lower...AGAIN A TON OF RESEARCH
Sorry for all the pics...these are the PSS not PSS 9 or 10 but I think the ride height is the same, it's just the damper adjustment.

Here's my car with the PSS10, lowered to maximum setting on 19 inch wheels:
do note that the tires are toyo R888s... which seem to bubble more on the sides.
also, here's a pic on the Hungaroring Formula 1 track... I'm pretty focused on getting the corner
:P

Well the first set of pics all I did was not use one of the locking collars (which was recommended in the manual if you want it lower) so that's what it would look like on 18's all the way down.
Comfy ride either way!
