Lowest coilovers?

Running any coil-over to the very limit of there adjustment range (low) is pretty dumb IMHO especially on mono-tubes all it does is cause the car to ride like ***.

As long as you're using the adjustable mount to move the height rather than spring preload, you shouldn't lose anything as far as shock range of motion is concerned.

Of course if your wheel is hitting the inside of the wheel well from being too low, that's another issue entirely. It's not really possible to slam any car, especially ours, and have it ride like anything BUT "a$$".

Is there a difference between the stance gr and stance ss? Which go lower?

Dude, SEARCH! there's literally like 10++ threads about Stance GR+, KW V3's etc.

Stance GR+ are almost the same coilover as SS, the SS are just newer and have 1 more feature, but the same lowering specs.

KW's are limited in the rear for how low they can go. I created a thread about this about a month ago if you would have looked 1 page through the Brake & Suspension section.

I'm not interested in kws not really what I'm going for. And I searched for the difference between the stance coilovers and couldn't find the it. Thanks for the help though.

Im running Stance SS at almost the highest setting.... Im still low as f***.

I feel I could almost lay frame if I wanted to... But I don't cause I enjoy driving my car.

BC coilovers will turn your car into a snow plow. The way I`ve set it up right now ,you can barely fit 4 fingers underneath the car. The lowest part from my FI exhaust is about 2" from the ground.

I thought you wanted to go low? Now you want to know the quality or mainly the difference between the two prices?

I never said that. I just asked what the difference was, does one go lower than the other etc. But I've decided on stance coilovers.
