We got pretty harsh regulations in Australia and if it's less than 100mm at the lowest point of the car, it's unroadworthy (illegal).

Love how these look and love that the ride feels like OEM.

Any help on this would be appreciated!

100mm = 4 inches? I'm fairly sure that this drop brings clearance down to less than that.

It's definitely lower than a coke can.

The front bumper is 3 1/2 to 4 inches (depends were you measure) from the ground. The sides skirts are 4 3/4 to 5 inches (again depends were you measure) from the ground. This is on stock Sports from bumper and stock side skirts.

Hope this helps. These springs do get the front LOW but not slammed.

EDIT: this is on 19x9.5F & 19x10.5R Volk wheels. i dont think it will make a difference bit id figured i should mention it.

Wow! Those look great... Why spend $1000 on coils when your car can look just as good for half the price... I'm buying H&R's this week! But yes, plz post more pics of your car.

My fronts don't rub now even though the wheels are pushed out about 5 mm more than when I had sport wheels with spacers. My front tires look a little stretched though. I'm still happy with h&r.

You're gonna be scraping everywhere you go. That's about the same stance as my car maybe even a bit more once you settle.
