I don't drive my car to NYC though. This would be useful if I could drive from slammed to up 2.5inches in wheel gap to avoid big dips etc

I can go lower, but I am not going to be able to turn without scrapping.

I am testing out a new coilover suspension, have not install the cup kit yet. Will after couple hundred miles on this coilover. So far it is very smooth, kinda amazing, considering I have used Cusco Zero 2 on my Soarer and those are super expensive and smooth.

Testing a no brand coilovers...came out of same factory as many brands on the market, however, I switched the spring rate and damping. As well as colorings of the coil...Might private label it.. I will let you guys know ASAP. I am going it 3 months of testing and so far so good

I want to install it too,,, but don't want to spend all the times removing my interior until I am sure these coilovers are good...I am the guinea pig for GS guys

I went with super aggressive offsets on the Varrostoens and I am scraping my front fenders all the times when I go up on driveway (sounds nasty and scary)...especially side way from the street into a plaza entrance...

I actually prefer heading the driveway straight on, since our GS has a short nose... I want cup kit now!!!
