PIC request: Coilovers installed with max drop
Hello,
I am looking for pics of rx8s that have coilovers installed on the lowest height setting possible. I am going to be purchasing coilovers soon and I am debating between Tanabe sustec pro 5 , tein flex or megan. I have done research on all three and am aware of each height adjustment range. I would like to see them in real life before I purchase.
If you can please indicate type of coilover and rim/tire size.
I have done a search and didn't get the answer I was lookin for. So if you can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Most of the coilovers will drop way past where you would want to go from a handling perspective. Any lower than about 25.5 to the wheel arch will make the suspension geometry change for the worse...and make the handling and alignment worse
If your doing a show car that you want to slam...that's a different story

Here are two pictures that show the car lowered.
First one is with the stock body (ignore the girl!
)
Second one is with the Veilside rear on.

i dont know the exact height drop for sure...i still have plenty of room to drop but would think of doing that...the ride is still enough allready and im on the softest setting. when i change my rims and tires i may have to readjust everything, maybe a teensy weensy bit lower to compensate if i get 19's (if i can)
btw im on JIC's
