If you want to slam, then you find the stiffest damper and pair them up with short custom stiffer spring rates (swift/ground control/hipercoils). This way youre not limited to collar height adjustment.

exactly! everyone has their own definition of "aggressive/flush/slammed". Post the look you want and im sure someone will chime in on what coil system is appropriate.

One guy will say his is slammed then another guy will say his shit is weak just because his car is a lil bit lower. Its a internet pissing contest in every forum, then the thread goes 5 pages about who knows more.
