How Low Can I Go....

[Vtec_Power]

...In a 1992 Ex Sedan with Maxspeed coilovers and Tokico HP shocks?

I was thinkin 1.75" in front and 1"-1.25" in the rear ( I have heavy subs)

I dont want to blow my shocks, and i'm not looking to slam my car to the ground.

Also, how would I know how low it is, are there any markers on the coil? do I just count threads? any help would be appreciated.

that drop seems like it'll be ok. sometimes the only way to find out, just how low you can go, is it try it. i turned the coilovers down half way on my civic, and it's slammed. tires almost tucked, and i can still go lower

from what i understand its a guess and check kinda thing. you can count turns i suppose, and do the same on all, and by using a tape measure you can get them all even.

thanks for the advice, i just Want to retain a ride quality of almost stock, yet have a little more aggresive stance....and I dont want to blow out my shocks.

Your right to an extent. Its 1.5 + that starts to eat tires.. I have a 2 inch drop on my coupe and it rubs a little on turns, with 15's so Id say anywhere from 1.75 to 2inches for an agressive look. If you wanna take away a minor wheel gap then go 1.75 or less IMO.
