I have H&R race springs. It's pretty low.
I can just about get myy hand between the tire and fender.
I scrap my bumper all the time going in and out of parking lots.

If you want it really low coilovers with adjustable seats are your best choice.

Do you scrape the dots off the highway? That would be seriously low...

I don't know - I've got it pretty low too.



Swapping springs isn't the way to go - you need coilovers, then you can buy any spring height and adjust to match. In my case, I also had to move mounting points on the subframe to make it so the car still handles while being so low...
