I might look into getting these since you guys seem to like them. How low can they go?

FYI. I still haven't had any issues with my Starkes so far. As far as how low, my fronts are tucked in the fenders, and my rears are just at the fender. Im running 20's, so body wise its not super low, though I do drag my undertray during hard braking. Still have plenty of adjustment remaining to go lower.

Hope this helps some. Bless up

That's good to hear. I plan on going pretty low and my current Megans go insanely low.

Where did you get your coilovers?

So I lost my adjustment wrenches today and called Starke up directly. They first said it's going to cost me $10 to ship me a new pair with a "USPS FLAT RATE Package" but after tellling them how much I loved their coilovers, they said they'd send it out for FREE! Great service and great products, Still running strong with my Starkes!

I think that when it comes to coilovers you get what you pay for, like most performance parts. Most everything is NICE & works great when their brand new. But the real test is longevity. Ive got the Tein Flex & I have over 200K on them with no leaks & still riding great. The only thing that Ive done to them is change out the lower bushing in the front. Just sayin.

Wow! That's crazy! I've seen so many coilovers that didn't make it past the 10,000 mile mark without needing to be replaced or rebuilt.

##update## For those interested, my Starkes are still going strong. No leaks, strange noises, or loss of performance. I've had them for just under a year. They've made a few trips to Cali from Vegas (horrible roads ) The rise quality is still really smooth, yet firm. If your into really stiff coils, these aren't for you. They're a happy medium IMO.

Just thought I would share in case anyone was considering purchasing a set.
