you may find that you will run out of travel on the piston within the shock.how low are you looking to go as anything past the 50mm/60mm mark is pointless

you will soon get unhappy with the way the car drives and hits all things on the road any higher than an inch:agree:

It looks pretty low to me now, can you go much lower? As adam says it will be a pain to drive, I used to run mine low and it would catch on everything.

If you've reached the maximum drop on your coilovers, I would say getting shorter springs would give you the look but would make it handle a lot worse

mine was like that, drive shafts sit like sh1t so going much lowers gonna kill them slowly..

i think your at the point its best to be at, a 16 inch wheel might poke up the arch a little more making it look lower when its not.. if you want the bumpers on the floor look at some euro wheels with a low stretched tyre and it'll ground out when you drive over cats eyes..
