Im at about 1.35" now and thats about as low as I can go. I too have the FI CBE and clearance has been an issue on certain speedbumps/driveways. Ive touched down the rear canisters ever so slightly twice now. No biggie though. Ill get around to writing up that review on these coilovers this weekend.

That's why I won't buy that exhaust! I noticed that the first time the band wagen started and never got any response from my questions on lowered vehicles!! I drive the stink out of my cars and can't worry about that type of stuff! Anyway...enough about that!
I'm still not happy with the dampening on the Megan coilovers. Too much bouncing! That's not supposed to happen! I feel like vehicles next to me
are thinking I'm riding on ghetto cut springs or something!

I'm dropped at 1 3/8", and I have also scraped the rear canisters twice now. But I at least know what not to go over.
