Default Ride Height Concensus

Trying to get an idea what ride height most of your guys w/ full coilovers are running. I'd obviously like to go as low as possible without destroying my front bumper and exhaust. TIA

Or tearing up your tires due to increased - camber, I think it was about 25.5 lowest

Will I wear the inside edge of my tires more? Won't an alignment return camber to normal?

I don't think you can adjust camber without a kit.

If you want to be low you need a kit, otherwise you can use ride height to adjust camber . . .

25.5" all around with grooved Bilsteins. No issues a well timed slow down can't resolve.

25.5 all around. No scraping the Borla, gotta watch the front end on big dips.

Does the muffler scrape, or that rear low hung bracket?
