How LOW can you go??? Practicability of lowering

[T-onedc2]

Hey man you've seen the height of my car and I have no trouble at all with any driveways, speed humps or shopping centre carparks at all. My driveway has quite a deep spoon in it but we altered it to help low cars access and we can get anything in. Some nasty spoon drains near where I live so a small angle is needed but no dramas.
I see so many guys zig zag over bumps and drains so much more than they need, I think they trick themselves into thinking they're real low lol and slow everyone else down

Yeah that's true,I sometimes just drive strait over those big speedbumps (I drive this road everyday) and if anything it just scrapes slightly sometimes.I'm running king lows and stock shocks (100,000km).1 finger gap at front and 2 at rear.I'm getting adjustable coilovers soon.

Ah yep. I asked you about it a while ago but have seemed to lost your pm (inbox is a mess).

Had another look at it though :

Seems ideal in terms of looks and practicability to me.
Would you be kind enough to tell me again what your drop all around was?

Cheers

Spoon Progressives are 30mm lower than OEM Type R springs, front is marginally lower than rear. Overall might be 50-60mm lower than stock.

I have had my car stuck on a speed bump at one of my clients... I needed to get some of our guys to come out and help me over the bump...

Its just that little bit too low

When my car was lowered around 7cms off the ground i had no problems going on drive ways going in a multi level car parks and speed humps that goes up and stays up for a while than goes down... all you need to do is take the corners sharp as possible & slow...

Now my car is lowered with Tein H Techs drops f35mm r30mm... has 2 finger gaps from tyres to guards (front & rear)... this height is the best height for everyday use...

not meaning to hijack thread, but what do you guys reckon would be a suitable drop for eg civic, on kings spings? not looking for anything about 2.5". what shocks do you recommend, im pretty noob.. so.. where to get it all done, cbf do it myself.

driving a lowered car is like making love to a women, if ya get ya angles right both you and her will be happy......

2'- 2.5' lowered ftw

lol.. what an example..

i dont know if you're from syndey, but here we're only "legally" (LOL) allowed to be as low as 100mm(10cm) off the ground.

But, it doesnt matter unless you get caught right
just think about the practicability of not having to worry about getting defected.
if thats one of your concerns of course.
