when you drop it that low you're going to have have multiple clearance issues. for one you're going to have to modify your inner fender wells so they don't rub as well as roll your fenders so it doesn't cut on the lip. I know this because I had to do it...

Just some things to think about. And since you said you mentioned a k-member before at least you won't have to worry about the suspension geometry being retarded.

Like so:

I cut out the areas of contact because it was definitely screeching over any severe bumps. I also hammered in the seam weld on the chassis because it was protruding where I cut out the fender well cover.

I didn't really even mean to go this low lol. after I dialed in the alignment I actually lost a little bit of ride height.

I can barely fit 2 fingers under the front bumper lol.

That's an awesome stance. Props if you can drive in your area with that. I definitely can't. I scrap and that's just with my current set up on NYC pot holes/bumps and a bunch of driveways when I'm not paying attention.

I feel your pain. My front bumper isn't quite as low as yours, but my cats and k-member are about 2" off the ground and my mudflaps are like 1.5" from the ground. When I put the coilovers on and set it down for the first time, I fell in love with the stance and couldn't bring myself to raise it up. A year and a half later and 8k miles of daily driving, the only issues I've had were some scrapes on the k-member and cats, roughed up mudflaps, and the fact that it took 2 hours to get the car on and off the alignment rack because it was too low and we had to use wood to get it on and off. The sacrifices we make for the low life

haha exactly. I have my own ramps built for oil changes and when I need to get under the car since the jack wont fit under the skirts lol. also I do my own alignments for that reasoning, can't get the car on the rack lol.
