if you want ***SLAMATION NATION***, 2 Words... H&R COILOVERS. These will go lower than you wish. If you put these allll the way down, you wont be able to drive your car, because your Oil Pan will be in contact with the Ground and your tires will be in Contact with your inner fenders... so if you wanna go lowwww, this is what you want... H&R Coilovers...

I went with Pss9's, I have about 1/2 finger in the front and back... also had to roll the fenders... no way the tires would have fit otherwise...

Am I right in saying that the PSS9 kit allows up to 30mm lowering? I noticed that the H&R springs also lower th car by 30mm?

cool 996 that looks real nice........

silver... sorry to hear about that.... it just depends... i think you can also adjust the camber a little to avoid the fender roll..... fortunately for me, i didn't have to......

Here's "no" finger widths. Eibach springs. Don't know what the dampers and sway bars are. HARSH ride and I touch almost every speedbump. 18" technology wheels.

Why would you want it that low then, Its a race car, not a lowrider? You might as well put hydraulics and wire wheels on it.
