Coilover kit with least drop?
Most of the kits I see advertised show how much drop they will allow you to have, but don't mention the least amount of drop you can have. The few I have seen a range for seem to indicate a minimum of ~.5" drop.
I can not afford to loose any more ground clearance for the winter but would like to lower it maybe an inch or so during the summer for appearance and some minor track use. So anyone know what coilover kit would get you the possibility for the least amount of drop?

you'd have to have it realigned and cornerweighted twice a year with the change, IMO you'd be better off just buying the parts needed to have a complete set of lowering springs/shocks like Mazdaspeed and the OE spring/shock assemblies and just swap them in/out with each other instead. You'd still need to have an alignment with the swap, but that eliminates the cornerweighting PITA/$$$ and you don't really want stiff springs/shocks for winter driving anyways

i realize the alignment changes when you drop it... does it really change enough though to warrant a new alignment if you only adjusting an inch or so?

stop flooding ur engines
i bought the tein type flex and with that u can lower it up to like, 3 inches i think, and u can also raise it about .2 inches over stock height as well. so u could have the coilovers set to stock height for the winter if u want. adjusting them is wicked easy.

Remember each time you lower your car you need wheel alignment.
I found 20mm front and 15mm rear is very good.
