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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.
