no worries...thanks for the input. just wanted to give people an idea of different ride heights with different suspensions. i can always adjust my coilovers to that height again as a daily driver...and raise it with the cups when needed.

thanks. no fender mods. my coilovers are almost maxed out...so i dont think i can go any lower.

cups are like a limited air system, you can ride low and when you get to a dip/bump/ramp/obstacle you can air up the suspension and ride over it without a worry of scraping. the main difference i think is you have limited adjustment of the height (please correct me if i'm wrong)

very nicely done OP looks clean
