Do you even know how fully adjustable coilovers work? If you don't know what you are talking about, don't say anything cuz people who know what's up will think you are a dumbass. The GR6 are designed to lower the car insanely low without sacrificing stroke. Tanabe DD and Zeal super function are the same way.

Scott, I am freaking jealous and I have n1 PRO. Seeing your car, big bad BH, and aaron makes me wanna sell them so I can lower the rear more without sacrificing stroke. I didn't know the GR6 were so pimp. Now get your ass out to the track. Are you going this weekend?

Flybert, you have n1 pros on an s13 right? I have them on an s14 and haven't had any problems tucking like that with preload adjusted. Not as low, but I made sure to cover the tire size numbers. You should be able to go pretty darn low. Just wondering anyway.

In the front if I pull the lower locking collar out and bottom out the spring perch, I can get another 1/2" but I'd prefer to have the option of having a whole extra inch when I want the car to look gangster. As for the rears, I'd like to go another 1/2" to 1" lower but they are as low as they can go without dropping the lower spring perch and sacrificing stroke. 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.
