I’m on tein flex z’s and had to take out the rear collars for the springs. The fronts are maxed as well but the height isn’t doing it for me. I need something that is even lower where the rim sits with the fender. All help pertaining to the question would be very appreciated.

wow dude superb looking coupe! Any noise with the rear collars removed? Im running bc ultra low, confident they will go about 1inch lower than your flex, wish it went lower honestly. If you want to go really low i suggest going with air

I heard bc extra lows go pretty darn low so I’m putting my money on them hoping they’ll give me what I want. Thank you for the complement, I appreciate it. Do you have an pictures of your car so I can have reference how much lower ur bc extra lows can go compared to mine?

i removed both collars in the rear and was only able to get the top of the rim flush with fender never tucked on a 18x9.5, bc needs to develop a shorter rear shock cartridge that will keep the rear springs seated without any of the collars, my rear spring specs are 130mm length and 7k spring rate..your on 19 vskf wheels?

Do you have any problems with the axle boots and other components? Just saw a post about someone with a blow axle because the car was too low.

blowing axles? please paste URL so I can see what youre talking about. People have CV boot issues, but thats because of issues during install, not regular driving wear and tear

Whoops should have stated I was asking the OP, but if you were running 235/40 and 18x9.5 +34, do you have any pics? I was thinking of running 255/40 on 18x9.5 +40 but I'm almost positive it'll rub.

I PM’d the OP & he is running 215/40r18 federal ss tires. It all depends on what suspension you are running & how low you plan on going. Also what wheel width & offset will you be running?

Miro 398's are one of my favorites. Looking to buy same wheels and finally found them on white sedan :) Man, is there any chance to get some pictures of your car seating on MIro's?
