sorry man but no way... there is no air ride set up that can take the wear and abuse my my coil overs have and continue to endure....even if you discount the fact they handle soooooo much better than air

I'm suprised no one suggested this.

Measure the rear height from the top of the wheel lip to the quarter panel arch. Then, simply unbolt the rear shocks at the bottom and pull them off the bolt. Lower the car and remeasure.

Are you suggesting to run without shocks or to force the coils to compact more for a short time?

You could also achieve the same affect by leaving an extra hundred pounds or so in the back of your car for a week or two

as low as I am on the 18's because you can't see the top of the tires they are fully tucked..not as much on the 15's but still very low.... the key is also the shocks you run
