Default Too low or too high???

Hi all,

Dropped the rear by about 3/4 inch.

Rubbing? Nah. but I had to crank the hardness of the coils to the maximum.

Opinions welcomed....

Too low or too high?

I would love to drop the ride.

But due to the fact the roads in Thailand are terrible. i think 2 inch drop would be too hardcore.

But i will give it a go.

Cheers

too low is when you hit a switch to drop it and the running boards snap off.

happened on my buddies ext bagged/notched/tubbed on 24s. still layed out even without the running boards lol.

They are messing with you man. I think the car looks great as is. Its still a daily driver and you might want to drive with people in the car . I have mine dropped to the max but I think the 245/35 with a higher ride height might be a better compromise. are rubbing in the front at all??
