I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and sacrifice the 1/2" of stroke for the sake of looking good. I pretty much only like 215/45/17 and 235/40/17. Anything with a thicker sidewall isn't cool in my book. I like stiff sidewalls and keeping the car as low as possible. Right now, I run 215 cuz I don't have much power. I'd like to run 235's all around eventually.
For the front, I could try to get some shorter springs from apexi or cut down the top part of the section that bolts to the spindle. That would solve that problem. For the rear, I'm going to take apart the rears and disassemble it into it's individual components. I'm hoping that at the bottom part of the shock there is 1/2" of metal that I could cut off so the shock can go deeper into the housing. Another way would be to find a shorter shock shaft, that way you can bring the whole spring assembly down. If I can figure out a way to shorten the shaft, I'll do it. I just don't want to damage it and make it unrepairable.
All these low coilovers make me think about selling my coilovers until I realize I have n1 PRO and should be shot for thinking about it.
