So I've recently purchased and installed yellow speed racing coilovers in my nc2, whilst it is significatly lower than stock, i feel i could go lower, unfortunately the base height adjustment is maxed out.
Is it possible to go lower, or is there really nothing i can do?

Re: NC coilovers - how low can you go?
What height are you at now?
Measure from the centre of the hub/wheel vertically to the lip of the guard, front and back wheels.
I’m running Teins and have been as low as 320mm up front and 328mm at the rear when running on the track. The ideal track height is around 325mm front and rear but this is way too low for the street.
On the street I’m around the 338mm to 343mm. At this height I can just clear the speed humps in the local shopping centre, driver only onboard.

Re: NC coilovers - how low can you go?
Yellowspeed (for NCs) for some reason don't drop much more than 20mm from standard at the rear. The irony is that the front can be lowered about 60mm. I did ask the supplier why that would be and what could be done but received a less than helpful responce.
They do work well for the money.

Back to having no money, damn my obsession.
