crazy_kat_matt

blitz damper or cusco will be nothing compared to Brad (Squirrel). he by far i think has the lowest coilover setup.

he has a custom tein setup i believe made for the bB that was redone especially for his car. his in pics looks like airride sometimes . i dont think anyone has coilovers lower than him.

I wanna see pics of it

HKS C-compact Coilovers w/16 inch wheels. The rear is as low as it goes and the front has like 2 more inches down to go. That wouldn't be drivable though.

i hope Brad doesnt mind me reposting this:


i think it will go lower a tad even. its just a sweet car. its the lowest one ive seen ever.

shawnthemonster

yeah at their lowest

I've got Blitz Wagon Dampers, I'd say they go slightly lower than Tein Basics. I'm at max drop, but if I went any lower, I'd have to get shorter diameter tires. When, my wheels are at full lock, there's less than a 1/4 inch of space between my fender and top of the tire.

Blitz are more performance oriented....If you want extreme slammage, I think HKS is the best way to go...I've seen it slammed to the point it can't be driven!

Just remember to take into account lip kits/body kits that are lower and also wheel sizes makes a big difference. I.E. i was lower than my bud with air ride souly because his 19s wouldn't let him get as low as i could with 16s w/coilovers.

dredge38

Ya i also remember when brad posted that pic, he has one of the lowest body kits you can get, it looks great though

sexyscionlover

good point sarcasm. although brad has a lip kit, figure in that he is on 18s also. lip kits and wheel sizes make a difference big time.

im on DF210s and im 3.3 inches from the ground at the highest point of my front lip. the body kit makes a big difference.

just curious sarcasm, have you measured on yours what you're at? im guessing yours is probably lower than mine even without a lip kit.

sorry not the lowest the tein basics will go, but here ya go....

Its not the wagon damper. it was by blitz power japan, only released in japan for the jspec bB. never ever released in us. supposed to be something like 3.4 fron 3.6 rear something like that.

stankubrick

Ah, cool...I never heard of that. Do you know more about it? Max drop? Dampening Adjustment? Pillowball upper mounts? etc...Is there a website?

shawnthemonster

i saw a writeup on the noblesse web site where they took some hks coilovers and changed the springs to get it lower and a stiffer ride....i wonder if thets where he got the idea from?.?.?

crazy_kat_matt

max drop is about what ive posted maybe a bit more, yes adjustable front camber plates, and 9 way or so adjustable struts all around. dunno the website though, gotta check

stankubrick

Not exactly sliggety-slammed, but damn low for the hills of San Francisco...lol

Blitz Wagon Damper Ws



Never really measured it, so I don't know how low I am....

Edit: Rough measurements: ground to highest point of fender arc=23.375" running 205/50/16 (0.4 inch taller than stock tires)

crazy_kat_matt

LOL. hey i decided what coils i wanna go with, cusco sounded good. but i found something else. just gotta wait till i get the money ;-)

squirrel

I originally had TEIN Wagon coilovers for the bB, but now have custom springs from TEIN.



With the right size tires and wheels, I can still go down at least another inch.



215/35-18 all the way around on 7.5s up front, and 8.5s in back.

The highest part of the wheel arc is appx 23.25 inches high.
