Rally: My '07 MCS was 26.1" front and 26.3" rear bone stock with 16" stockers. Congrats on the air setup, and OM*G that is slammed to all get out!


Everyone else; it would be cool to hear how you got your car as low as you did.

With mine, I have BC coilovers with a dropped front spindle I fabbed. Certainly not the lowest, but then again my 1st priority was handling and 2nd was "low". I know Kalbone is running K-Sport coilovers, and Konky was? running KW V1's. Rally's old Cooper was on Megan's.

Thanks Ryephile The air setup has been fun, but it's definitely still a work in progress. I love your setup and constantly check out the build-up thread

I was on Megans....the very first version of them before springs and shock bodies started getting switched up. 15x8/8.5 wheels with 205/50 tires (shorter than stock)

Konky is on KW V1's and he says he's got plenty of room to go lower. He's on 17x8's with 205/40's (shorter than stock)

Kal is on K-sports and he had them sent back to be customized to go lower. I believe they shortened them a bit. Kal is on 18's....not sure of the width or tire size.

OK, so it's not slammed on the ground. But for my 41 year old back it's slammed .

How much further room do those cross's provide to go lower? I'm assuming you're still happy with them?

Word, I haven't seen it since the coilovers, but even on springs it was looking good.

I am kinda thinking I should have gone with something lower than the TSW's. I haven't put them on yet but I like the lower look that other springs give.

im pretty sure that Rally will have us all beat soon.

aside from that....Kalbone is damn low in the rear (no homo) but, if i throw 17's back on my **** i think i would have most beat. it was really slammed on 17s. im so glad i got off those things...i couldnt go anywhere.
