Default Coilovers suggestions Updated

Hey guys. I am being asked these questions and wanted to run them by some of you and see what you think. Right now the coilovers are stock to 2.5" lower in the rear and then the same in the front. The front can go a inch lower if he makes adjustable end links for it.
What do you think?

Should they make adjustable end links to make the front go a inch lower?

Should they make the rear spring shorter to be able to lower the rear some more?

Please let me know what you guys think so I can pass this along.

Front is 0 to 2.7", rear is -1" to -2.5"

So if I change the rear it will be -1.5" to -3" which most people should be
happy with, not may want to leave at oem height.

just make sure if he provides a lower ride hight that some adjustments should be made to the spring rate and or shock dampening to make up the slack in susp. travel.

instead of getting a new rear spring if you want to go really low in the rear take off the lock and adjusters so it sits all the way down on the seat you get a half inch to 3/4 lower from doing that

Really, I do not think you will need to go lower then what the kit lets you with the locking nuts on there. I would like to see a pic of someone that is that low really and driving it. I am looking at some new wheels right now that might not be staggered so I can tuck them like I did the tC.

Beyond the weeds and to the roots, perfect!
The more I read about these coils, the more I like them.
