Default safe to lower Tein CS all the way down?

i have close to an inch all round left to lower. but i wanted to know if it is safe for the coilovers if i lower all the way? i dont want to damage anything in the coilovers.

I have just a few threads front and rear, and thought I read somewhere that you arent supposed to go down past the last few threads.

i am thinking about buying some other coilovers that will allow me to go lower. but i guess i will lower the CS to somewhere close to the last thread and see how that looks and see if i am happy with that.

thanks guys

I dont think it would hurt the coilover if you run them all the way down. I have them around 3 threads left.

most definitely we have camber, but it's all about alignment. if the shop does a good job, the toe can compensate the camber

my car is quite low in the front (to the limit) already, and the rear has couple of threads to go i think. last weekend i helped my friend to lowered his tein cs pretty much to teh lowest as well

i think as long as you lock the rings tight it should be fine
