Not low with race springs ?

You can pry the bottom of the strut open between the bottom plate and the yellow sleeve, and cut out a "step" of the bump stop. I did this before I installed them initially, but I don't know if I'd do it again.

Cutting it will increase the travel before you hit the bump stop, but I found I'd hit the bump stop anyway and it just made less of the bump get absorbed by the stop before it actually bottoms out.

I'm now on GE coils/Koni SA/GC Race plates and I'm much happier than I was. Still planning to shorten my front housings though.

^ This.

Follow this list in order for teh lowz:

Buy proper tires
Remove spring pads
Drop hats OR Camber plates
Spacers

Hey Northern, great stance! I just wanted to validate Drop hats OR Camber plates, but not both?

Camber plates replace the spring hat. The only "safe" way you can have both is if you have a camber plate on one side of the car and a drop hat on the other. lol. It would be stupid.

Well, I must say, yours are only supposed to drop your car 1.6" in the front and 1.5' in the rear. If you change your tires, it should put your ride height where it's supposed to be.

I'm using the sport cup kit which does 2.1" in the front and 1.7" in the rear

The only other thing that I'm using is the Condor Riser bushing kit and I think 10mm spring pads in the rear. No camber plates or offset RTAB.
Also, 215/35R18 wheels. And my lip is lower than the s52 oil pan :)

And it looks like this:

Those wheels are the worst thing that ever happened.
