dude that's low. reall low, but you have NO drivability i'll say i was straight slammed on racelands and maybe half and inch higher than you with 215/35 series tires, but with my new tire size i had to raise it up sadly it's ok though i rather sacrifice that so i can have my turbo

on another note LOOKS sick bro, i want F2 Type 2's or B&G's <sickest coilovers yet for tC buutt not a lot of people have those so i haven't seen the true results.

i have quite a bit of drivability, definitely pulled the fenders, i don't have ANY rubbing whatsoever right now. it's a lot of trial and error...

how low is cory? i'm pretty sure i'm just as low in the front.

Well I tried using the adjustable end links today vs the stock ones on the newer Type II's and let me just say, the stock end-links definitely allow the coils to go more low in the front...Upwards of an inch.

Dead serious. Doesn't appear I was able to get as low as aen but pretty close. Probable within a half inch or him. I was unable to turn my tires upfront very far without popping the fender...lol. Had to do like 5 mini turns just to park...lol. Had to bring it back up some though cause roads on my way to work suck and are all ripped up and being repaved.

But than why would F&f send those endlinks if all they do is prevent MOAR low? So you think if i put the stock ones back on I can go another inch lower? And did you end up leaving the oem links on? And remember I modified the fronts I removed 2 perch rings.

I got no idea...lol. I didn't have much luck with those adjustable endlinks. I kept having issues with the sway bar and crap so i ditched them and went stock. aen's pics are a little dark but I am judging by his front bumper clearance. I took them all the way down that I could and was pretty close to him cause I every turn i made was a 3 point turn lol. Weather is getting crappy out But I'll try to swap them again this weekend and take pics of each in.

Sounds good. And if they do make it about an inch lower than that would be perfect for me. As for those endlinks...I had to adjust them hella times and finally got them just right where my the sway bar was not hitting the body frame. I adjusted them to around 9 3/4 inches high.

^same here, lol

but i still dont see the logic how the stock endlinks would make the coils go lower? the logic is just not there, lmao

unless like they said the endlink was resting on the frame, otherwise how i have my endlinks now, i dont see how it would be possible.

well, stock endlinks brought the sway bar further away from the frame, allowing the frame to rest more on the coil.

but who knows.

i'm raising my ____ a little my rear is still high and makes my car look goofy.

also, just as an fiy, i cut that tab that holds the bumper on and put a quick release latch system on my front bumper. helps tremendously.

Sort of the same issue I was having. The dang sway kept knocking on the frame once I lowered the car off the jacks which I believe was causing the coils not to fully compress or something. All I know is the oem links let me lower more. No quick release latches for me, I just raised them so I could actually drive somewhere lol.

^yeah, thats the conclusion i came to, the adjustable endlinks on mine are fine, and the sway has plenty of room to move not touching the frame, but i still might put on my oem endlinks since the adjustables are kinda flimsy once theyve been extended soo much like how i have them now

i'm raising mine too haha, the inside of my tire is SHREDDED by that piece of metal in the wheelwell that's part of the frame. cutting the bumper and fender definitely added a crapload of clearance though, i can make much wider turns as opposed to before.
