How low can you go on St coilovers?
So when i got my coilover install 2 weeks ago. I was a bit overwhelmed and didnt notice that the front was perfect "flush" just the way i wanted it. The rear is still riding high. Just curious if anyone with St coilover, Can i lower it more? I wasn't there at the shop when he dropped it, so idk how high or low he set it on the spring perch. I just want my car to be even. No fender gap. Now, its bugging the hell out of me, cause i just got an alignment done last week. I heard you have to remove the control arm in order to get to the rear spring perch and adjust it which means i have to get another alignment after. Please post a pic of your car on st coilvers and do you think my rear can go lower?

you can definitely go lower. This was my car on St's with 19inch wheels. Not the best pic
and on stock 18s this isnt even on lowest setting. Hope this helps

You don't need to remove anything to adjust it. You just turn the adjustment collar with the supplied wrench.
But you still need to get a new alignment because you changed the height, which in turn will change the camber and toe.

Where you at tmrw? Probably compare my set up. And depends on what tires are on. 1st pic, front/rear can still lower it even more. 2nd pic raised because the Michelin PSS tires rubbed in the front and I wanted the tires to show.
