Re: Thinking about lowering my car.. Got a question..
Thats all going to depend on how far you lower it.
And also exhaust setups, engine,trans oil pans.
Traction control devises, ect.
I've dropped my mine about 2" front and 1 1/2" in
rear. Coilover front, Eibach rear.
Top of tires even with fender lips.
4 to 4.5" closest point.

Ive have about 6 inches clearance right now.. Id like to drop it maybe an inch or 2.
Do you have a hard time going over bumps and stuff with 4 inches clearance?

i lowered my old 85Z with eibach sportlines and was careful over speed bumps...never had a problem with normal roads and holes though...just didnt wanna take a chance on ripping off the exhaust.
if you find a good shop to tuck the exhaust youll be much better off, cuz the stock y pipe hangs low.

No scraping over speed bumps as I slow down for
speed bumps the same way I would in my other
halfs 10" ground clearance Ford (Exploder)
Actually closest point is the air dam and being careful
not to park to close to store curbs which it doesn't do
to often.
Also if you do lower the car you are going to need to install
lower control brackets to get your LCAs back uo to at least
horizontal.

I have about 3"-3-5" from the lowest point. I can't remember how many inches I lowered it.
