What is the lowest I can go, suspension wise, and still be a good DD? Anyone sell a complete kit? What all should I look for (pan hard bar, etc)? I've got the stock 19" brembos but will be upgrading to 20s in the next few months.
I have heard from many that even 2 inches will cause rubbing on a bumpy road. I have a 2013 GT with Brenbo package and JUST upgraded to 20" a few weeks ago. Here is my suspension build list which is my next phase:
J&M Extreme Joint Lower Control Arms $189.99 Steeda Adjustable Upper Control Arms $179.99 J&M Adjustable Panhard Bar $114.99 Eibach Pro-Damper Front Struts $899.99 Eibach Pro-Damper Rear Shocks Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs Eibach 36mm Tubular Front Sway Bar Eibach 25mm Solid Rear Sway Bar Eibach Front and Rear Sway Bar Bushings Eibach Camber Bolts $34.99
The Eibach stuff other than the Camber Bolts are in the Eibach Pro System Plus Kit
If Ur a looks car, put it in bags. Otherwise, the eibah pro kit is ok for dd on most roads. The eobach sport springs go lower and I wouldn't want to dd them. Great for that low look though, nice and stiff for racing.
I wouldn't go any lower than 1.5" drop in the front for a DD. On the note of suspension builds (which is also my next 'phase' - straight from my iPhone notes, don't mind the prices):

IMO it depends on the what you can handle. I'm lowered 1.1/1.6 on hotchkis springs and would like to go lower but the driveways/speed bumps/dips in the areas that I frequent wouldnt be too kind and there's no getting around that.
The roads I travel aren't horrible. I just want that wicked stance without rub. I don't track the car but I may hit it eventually. All this info has given me a lot to think about. Thanks
I live around some pretty decent roads and my DD is on BC Coils. I love the look. But wouldn't run this low if you are not ready to commit to it. Sounds like you are best suited for springs. I would go H&R ss imo! Here is a idea of what things look like.
(OLD setup) BC Coilovers, UCA/Mount and Panhard 19x9.5 SVE 27" Tall, Back hit UCA often, no rubbing with tires.
(new setup)BC Coilovers, UCA/Mount and Panhard 20x9.5 20x11 27.4" front and 27.8" Rear, Never rubs, never hits. Driven slowly
(First setup) H&R Springs, UCA/Mount and Panhard 19x9 27" Never rubbed, or had any issues. Great overall Ride!

Thanks man. That is an awesome ride and great info. I definitely don't want anything to hit. That is the look I want.
