New here, Static SVT focus

[Amorphous]

Hello, I am very interested in going lower. I hope this is the place to learn how.

I am currently running a set of H&R coilovers.

In these pics, 225/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza on rolling Stock 17x7 five spokes painted black.





I want to go lower, but the back is bottomed out. Next I am removing the rear perches and isolators.

My current setup is...

Falken Azenis 225/45/17. On body matched EAP 17x7.

Removing the perches and cutting 2 dead coils out of the rear springs will get it down some more and your fronts should definitely be able to be spun down quite a bit more. The height of those 225/45s isn't helping either, a 215/45 is tall enough as it is, but you are probably running those Azenis for the handling benefits.

Nice Fofo. Did you paint your Machs yourself? I need to get off my ass and black mine out.

Yeah, my fronts are up 11cm from bottom. I am running that tire size to see how I liked the Azenis and the set up now handles like a go kart. Too much fun.

I did paint them myself. It only took me about 6 months to do it too. Part busy/part not knowing what I was doing.

Here is a better pic of the lights no glare. and my badgeless grill.

What would cutting 2 dead coils do to the handling of the car?

not many svts as fresh as this one. good choice in wheels!

anyone?

probably not much, theyre dead coils. theyre really only there to help with ride height. afaik. i could be wrong.
