NY Low Budget, Low-Friendly Coilover FD

Hey guys, I'm curious what coilovers for the FD body are able to go very low without any limitations.

I previously owned a bugeye subaru wagon that was stanced pretty hard. I used to have issues with my coilover hitting my cv boots and tearing them.

My brother has an s2000 and he had issues where he had to trim his rear control arms so the coil could go lower.

Are there any limiting factors as far as the FD RX-7 goes?

What coilovers are you guys able to slam your cars on? How much do these cost? are they reliable?

thanks,

- Nick

If you go very low you will rub a hole In your front fender liner and you have a wiring harness running through there that could cause major problems if it gets rubbed into.

Go with HSD's. . .I'm not slammed yet. . .but was pretty low and has more room to go. . .also very cost friendly. . .

Bullet is correct with the fender liner. . .make sure your wheel/tire combo clears everything and relocate your harness to be on the safe side. . .

thankfully with a couple zip ties this problem is fixed.
