nice car phil! did you drive to that meet with the car that low?

you guys think a 2.5' to 2.75' drop is ok for a daily driver?

cut coilovers?? woah.. i think that would be the worst idea you could ever do, if your so bent on getting your car to go lower, try getting the smaller springs. i know with the cattman coilovers, you can get smaller springs, however not from cattman, but from eibach or other companies, never really went indepth to this, because with my coilovers you can drop the front to the ground, so never figured i'd need to go lower.

just keep that hack saw away from those coilover springs okay

Two of my friends have dropped their max's with Intrax springs and stock struts that have been cut about 2inches!! I think that its low enough. Id say its about a 3" DROP. Both of them have the Stillen front lips and plus they are both daily driven.
I thought my H&R's dropped my max enough for me, and now that i have the front lip its even lower.
