invader body kit question, how low is too low ?? Options

[yellowxboy]

i'm not sure if this should be under the 'Suspension/Handling/Braking' or the Exterior Styling topic.. its kinda both i guess.. i'm getting an invader body kit sometime this month and i was wondering how low is everybody's car lowered. right now my car is pretty low and thats w/o the bodykit so i figure i have to raise it back up.

lets say "0 inches" is the "stock" height of your celica.. "+1 inch" means it is raised 1 inch and "-1 inch" means you lowered it 1 inch ..

how low can i go w/o any dmg to the kit ?? or does it depend on the tire size and such?? i have kyb shocks n' decent springs .. and 15s w/ low profiles..

the lowering your car with the invader kit question is like asking how many apples are in a tree.

it all depends on many different factors (from driving experience to wheel size).

first off, i have the kit and 17's with a 1 inch drop in the front and 1/2 inch in the back with tien coilovers. the stiffness is set on level 8 on all four corners.

keep in mind that the stiffer the suspension the less you will scrape or bottom out due to the fact that your ride is held up.

scraping is inevitable but scraping will not really damage your kit (fiberglass is alot stronger than what you think). what will damage your kit is impact, a really slow 3 mph impact will in some cases crack the fiberglass.

just keep the ride stiff (good thing about tien coils) to prevent impact and take gas stations, driveways... in sharper angles.
