Default GIVE ME YOUR INPUT

A while back i dropped my car on rokkor coils (i was originally going to get racelands but they were out of stock) and i put the front all the way to the bottom thread, and the rears with 5 threads left. im beyond happy with them...........except for one thing. im not low enough. even with the rs4 lip kit, i still have at least 3.5 inches from my front bumper to the ground. i live in san antonio and the roadwork here is terrible so i dont want to dump the car, but i really want to be lower. i dont want to remove the perches because of a rough ride and possibly being too low. i have been thinking about getting a wind splitter or a small lip that i can put just below my front rs4 lip so it makes my front bumper lower, but i think it might look pretty over done already having the rs4 lip. what i need from all of you guys is some advice on what i should do. im not asking you to flame me for having rokkor coils and a wheel spacer-less car. THANKS

For one I would get rid of the Hitler Stash...

I say...save up for a better quality coilover like B&G, TEIN, BC etc...

If you are so concerned about the front lip...Dont any lower then..Problem solved.

agreed about if you are worried about the lip scraping just stay where you are at. i scrape everywhere lol. but if you want to go lower get a better coilover cause you will be able to go alot lower.

Agreed with all that have said. If you want a budget coil over that can potentially go lower seems Tein Basis is improved over the Basic. But I'd go with B&G RS2(it's all I know), ride good, can get low, and no worries of riding on bump stops. Also BC is another popular run setup(if you request the Extreme low option, someone correct me if wrong). Both can be had for around $1,000 if you search(well it would apply to B&G since they're normally sold for more. There's a tC in San Antonio, another RS 4.0 actually, riding slammed on cut S-tech springs, name's Gerardo, so looks like you've got some work to do lol.

EDIT:Found pics, and this is on lowering springs, there's no raising the car back up. Pretty much, deal with it.
