Ok I'm leaning towards... in the order of...
1) Stance GR+, since no one has it and every car I've seen with it slams.
2) BCR, because everybody SAYS it hits low
3) Zeals are a for sure and/or JICs!

So, more inputs please? Bags anyone?

There are quite a few pics of guys really low on the BCR stuff.

mdrgrwl is right on the money with his post.

I gurantee you will be able to slam your car on BCR's and I can get you spring rates stiffer than you would want

here are some pics of my car on BCR coiloves. I don't like the uber tucked look so I wouldn't consider myself 'slammed', but i'm pretty darn low...

I could take a pic of how much thread I still have left but I'm too lazy to take my wheel off. You just going to have to trust me when i say I have another 2.5 to 3 inches more I can go lower...
you've seen cars slammed on Megans. These are the same exact basic design of Megans!

Yes, thank you, that's pretty low and you're rims are pretty flush to the body. No rubbing?

Just get BCR with custom spring rate. 12k/8k rear or maybe 10k.

areukhmer is riding on BCR and I can tell you its pretty stiff. Plus it can go low as Megan.

I'm riding on JICS right now and no complaints.

^ Yup, here's a pic of areukhmer's ride:



and i'm he'll attest to the fact that you can still go another few inches lower.

BCR FTW!

I love my JICS. The BCR is AWESOME. For STANCE I have no comment. If you decide to go Stance, let us know how it goes.

I wonder how much stance cost? Most of the SC guys run Stance.

You should be the first one on Stance GR with the lowest offsets on CL.

Naww, JIC or Zeals are perfect IMO.
