Default Reight Height

Was wondering how much i can lower without having rubbing issues. My setup is as follows

Rear:
16 x 8" + 45 with 245-45 AO32-R Rolled fender Camber 2.5Deg

Front
16 x 7" +35 with 205-50 AO32-R Camber 1.75Deg

The car is running on TEIN FLEX adjusted to the higher spec recommended on the manual. Was wondering if i can lower it to a full 1Inch drop.

Is there any possible way i can fully compress the shock in a test environment with out damaging the car

You can go 1 inch lower than stock with your setup. I would not go much lower than that due to damaging the fenders on hard turns.

If you go with wider fenders like I did then you can be more aggressive. I have the same offset/sizes you have and am dumped 3 inches in the front and rear. No rubbing issues. My rear camber was -2.6 and my front is -1.6. I am also running Aragosta 12 way adjustables.

Like I said dont go to low in the front or you will damage your front fenders.

Thanks JsAP1

Is there a way how you can safely simulate compression without damage ?

Talk to vtecvoodoo. He works for Eibach springs and can test your shocks on a shock dyno for free. Koni offers this service as well.

See if Eibach or Bilstein in Europe will do it. Both those companies should have the proper equipment.
