Maximadave, what is the ride difference like. We have some serious potholes in Raleigh and I can't afford a stiffer ride than what I have now.
The Tein drop is bueatimous. I must resist the urge... Please give me negative feedback about the springs to fight my addictions.

PoLo-For a max w/o a body kit even with the Teins it could still stand to go another .5" lower IMO, but for mine since I have the body kit, well its about as low as I can go w/o scratching anything Rob Van Dam's ride with the GC's is exactly .5" lower then mine and hes had some clearance problems, I havnt had any yet even with the Teins. Just need to keep away from parking blocks thats all.
Btw-what coilover do you have?

Even with 5 hugh people in the car and the rear wheels tucking I didnt bottom out, not on bumps. Driveways I still take at an angle depending on how steep it is. Once and only once my b-pipe touched but that was my fauly, I went over those big @ss speed humps which is like 5ft wide speed bump and took it head on. Other then that just curbs but I try to aviod those

ground controls. i stand at 24.75"
do i bottom out, rarley, but i can't drive fast anymore. nyc potholes own you. my driveway is sto steep i need wooden platforms to get up. it's a little aggravating, but the look is nice, which is what i'm going for.
