Not sure, but my car is slammed on them. I still have about two inches left to drop it on the coilover.

I don't understand why people just don't go straight to the tein website to find info like this?

I did that FIRST. 3.7 front and 2.6 rear. From whats Ive read, people suggest that they go much lower than this.

Not sure, but my car is slammed on them. I still have about two inches left to drop it on the coilover.
See. If the car is "slammed, and has two inches to go, .... .6" slammed the car? No way.

Anyone know for sure?

aa..well, I'm not trying to be a smart-@$$ here but, why do you need to know what's the max possible dropped length?? unless your bumper is two feet off the ground right now. Tein Flex can provide plenty of room for you to lower your car. I have them on my car, and I have plenty more on the strut. I can barely fit two fingers in.

What size wheels and tires, is that with? Have any pics?

Im trying to figure out if Tein Flex will lower my car right where I want it. This is important, before I go spend +$1000.

my setup was 234/35/18 and 275/40/18...plenty of meat on tires. There were still plenty of coils for me to lower if I want.

I have 18x9's and 10's, with 225/40 and 235/40's.

I just bought a set of Flex's. I hope I can get the wheels close enough to the fenders, like Im wanting.

I'm sure the SS and Flex will slam your car at the lowest level. I have heard that the ComforSpecs don't slam your car at the lowest level.

The SS are bumpy as hell when dropped to the bottom of the threads (give or take about 2 or 3)... not sure if the Flex is the same.

I already know Ill be running the height adjustment all the way down. Probably be running with the bottom spring perches do some, too.

Im looking for about 1"-1 1/4"" of gap betwwen the lip, and the fender. I think thats over 4" drop from stock.
