How low to go?


Recommended Posts

This is my starlet as it is now lowered on coilovers approx 50 (maxed) front and 55 (unmaxed) rear. I used to have the rear even lower (the 2nd pic) but it rubbed hehe.

Having the ride height even and just about right makes for better driveability. Too low and the shocks have nowhere to rebound. It would only be worth going lower for shows etc. I still scrape the odd speed bump with this height. My car was very high on standard suspension so my approx figures justify this. Handles like a runaway minecart with my setup by the way ;) And its not all about looks, its how it handles too. Im also on 195/45 low profile tyres, so if I whacked 195/50s on, they would fill out better.
