        pfft, weak. just roll on bumpstops.

        I run FK AK streets. non damper adjust so i got a bit of bounce, but it doesnt bother me and i drive a fair bit. have to be mindful of the road surface though which is a bit annoying, but thats any coilover setup unless you want them leaking in 6 months.

        my FK's go low. the front is low enough that i wouldnt go any lower and i still got maybe an inch to move, im already grinding my driveshaft away as it is. rears have a bit more to go still and could remove the perch if i wanted, but i like a pretty even look and i drive too much to lower the front anymore (lost the valance once already) -total cost shipped- $440.

          I've been reading up on reviews of f.k's (as ill most probably go with the silver lines) and I'm gathering that the silverlines have replaced the streetlines?

            I have tein lowered springs in mine and it's not low enough. I was legit thinking
            Of chopping them a tiny bit...

              Have you thought about lowering with spring caps? They drop 10-15mm and are supposedly easy to fit. I bought some from Dubstop, but didn't end up fitting them as my Diesel Geek sump guard meant I am low enough already... they are only about $40. Mine are for sale too...

              Rear wont go any lower than this:

              Where as I could prob drop the front another inch or so:

                            Thought of a new front swaybar? Might be a cheaper option than replacing the driveshaft.

                              Yea its an option. .I raised it enough that I only grind on very hard cornering or massive dips like the end of the eastern freeway. Would have to look into the cheapest option that will help. Also recall people flipping sway bars.. need to do some research about it.
