having trouble choosing a coil over kit. any recomendations?

Yes, if it was lowered all the way the tires would be tucked under the fenders....
in fact they would probably be touching the inner fender covers. The ride would be so harsh that you would probably not be able to stand it for very long. My initial set up had the front and rear wheels tucked under the fenders. I had to raise mine due to the poor roads here and my personal preference for ride comfort. The ride was so harsh that a small bump in the road was magnafied by 1 million, and felt like the car just hit a wall at 100mph. I would not recommend it, unless you like that kind of ride.

As far as I know the H&R coilovers used to get you the lowest...
But now that KW has a new rear spring... I'm wondering if the KWs will get you the lowest if you flip the perch in combination to the newer springs.
Also, I've heard the H&R coilover kit is noisy... some like the kit, some don't, but I've never gotten a complaint from my KW customers.

no reason to go lower than correct perch orientation with KW 8012 rear spring...
yes, you can go lower, but there's no point to it.
here's a pic to give you an idea...

and a close up of the rear...

thx tylor! would look nicer with a tCarbon rear valence...hint, hint.
had time to buff it out a little today.
i have about 125 miles on the new 8012 rear springs now...probably go a little more on it...like some bumpy roads to make the springs settle faster. then off to get it aligned...but i might need new strut bearings...maybe i'll wait until after the coming winter.

after:

almost 1/2" difference...i think. i didn't measure the before and after.
