Default What are folks w/coilovers running for fender clearance?

Just curious, I've been messing w/my H&R setup and arrived at what seems to work pretty well, FR at 26", rears at 25.5". I measured stock at 27" FR, 26" rear, and kept the rake somewhat neutral. I don't think dropping the fronts more would help the weight dist too much, but would be curious to hear what others are running.

The H&R's have been working great, somewhat stiffer, but the car responds really well now and holds 100+ mph like butta. You could cruise all day at 100 mph without feeling strained at all.

Default I'll be dropping the same as you.

I measured my stock height at 27F/26.5R with 1/2 tank of gas. I want to keep it level so I'm going to go with 26F/25.5R.<p>Andrew Lee

Default I'm at 25"/24.75 (F/R) with H&R's

You could go a tad lower, especially in the front, but obviously you're gonna have to watch those speed bumps and inclined driveways.

Did the car align properly dropped that far? Wheel clearance problems?
