That car is not daily driven at that height. He lowered it specifically for the that show.
Think about it, how could he make a right hand turn without beating the crap out of his fender at that height.

Bro, he drives the car like that daily. He has done a lot of fender work and he can actually turn. But not all the way but who cares, its the life.

I plan on dropping it that low for wekfest (if i get in) and maybe raising it a tad bit higher for daily drive just so I dont have to worry about effing up the metal bar on the ground so my gate can open / close
Whatever you say. On VSC he mentioned he stopped at his house to lower it more for that show.
I don't believe he can turn that thing with any amount of fender work. I have pulled the crap out of my fenders. I know first hand what height you can daily (15k miles/year) and what height you can't. Especially without adjustable suspension.

I'm always floored by the height of some of these daily driven LS400...I scrape my front bumper and exhaust even at my height (attached photo - old btw), but I always entertain the option of going slightly lower...

Well at the height that I'm currently at i have no issues daily driving it. Before my exhaust used to hit everything but after raising that up, its not an issue anymore. I scrape my front bumper here and there but just barely. What restricts me the most from going lower is my frame rails (not to be confused with the pinch welds). The frame rails for our cars sit low and it doesnt help that our car is long as hell so when it high centers on a driveway it scrapes.
I gonna put my car up on the lift and see if I can hammer the frame rails flat lol. I hope the metal is malleable
Going 0.5 to 1" lower than the height that I'm currently at, I feel like I can still daily drive it

Getting ready to pack up the wheels to be shipped
Oh and my coilovers came in. I prefer this design where I can twist the bottom portion all the way up until it touches the top two collars(did it right after this pic). I'm pretty sure it'll go low enough for me, if not time to remove some collars. They are 18kg front and 8kg rear

btw, which one is front which one is rear? They dont specify and the bottom mounting for front / rear are identical. I dont want to accidently swap the front / rear lol
