lowest coilovers
looking for some options on the lowest drop from coilovers. the suspension on the beta i just picked up is beyond shot, its like you're in a boat. i want it absolutely dumped. with the skid plates im not worrying too much and i have a truck for daily driving. my other pulsar has GAB suspension with RSR springs but i'd like lower on this car, any options would be great thanks!
edit:
i dont really care about ride quality, i had an aw11 mr2 that you couldn't fit a big tow under and felt like you'd chip your teeth if you ran over a quarter. i like a stiff ride in my fun cars, thanks again!
just get some ground-controls if u want dumped, no need to spend 1000$ on coils
400 usd will drop u to the floor
I'm hoping to trow my coilovers on tomorrow. I can try and dump it right down and snap some pics for you. If you like the look, I can get you a price on the Ksports if your interested.

A lot of these suspension products are for the 91-95 gtir,, anyone know if they'll work on a 90?
wingnut that sounds great! please let me know how low it will go :) and i'd like to keep it coils for the winter
Just go solid suspension.......Jk. To go maaaaad low get some coils with adjustable bottom mounts. You'll be able to lay frame for sho. Respek on the AW11 by the way. My first car.
you can only go so low as your rear cv boots will rub on the bottom of the coils. good luck slamming it to the ground :)
Here it is. Can probably drop the back a touch more, but you'd be pushing towards the CV as stated..

nice flaps, should show you mine. Custom?
wingnut im liking the stance on the front, what size wheels are you running? i might have to consider notching the frame to get it lower haha pm me a price on the suspension? thanks!
thats about as low as you could go in the pic posted with out doing some serious modifications to your suspension and drive line. these cars wernt really ment to be slammed. about 2 1/4 drop in the rear is about max your going to be able to go. if you are running 16's or bigger.
Lynx, those flaps are cheapies from crappy tire. Going for the 'rally' look before I decided to track this thing. The fronts scrape the road all over now!
twr32, the wheels are 15 x 6j Work Ewings. I'm going to have to trim up the fenders, that car is at max camber (with camber plates, the upper strut bolt all the way in and a camber bolt in the lower hole) Probably running upwards of 10 degrees!! I'd have lots of clearance if I wasn't running 10mm spacers too..
I don't see any clearance issues with the back yet. Could probably get another 1/4 inch back there if I tried. If you plan to go low and slow, you could pull out a bunch of spring preload and sink it more...
