These are with IPT coilovers. For those that think coilovers simply means low, that is not what they are about. Yes, you can go low, and mine are a good 10 turns from being as low as the can. Look at the second pic. I am entering that turn while braking from 90-100 mph. Notice how much lift the green car has in the rear? And I believe Ron had Koni/Eibach's on at the time. Look how little lift/roll on the silver car. If slammed is all you are looking for, save your money. If getting maximum performance out of your SHO is your deal, get the coilovers. And get a second sets of springs just for shows, and you can slam it to the ground.
I already have the Koni inserts on my car, I like them and I just want to lower it a little. It is only a street car, not for the track.

The slammed car looks awesome! Do you have any side view pictures? I would like to see what that thing looks like, whether it is raked or an even slam.

I don't know who's this is but it's pretty slammed.

umm.. your comparing to a max?

Though I would like to see your car on a tar surface, perhaps next to a stock height car?

well my car ahs a bit of a rake to it...because Iwas experimenting with spring length and rate.I have a longer softer spring than I would like in there and becasue it is one size longer than I use it is adjusted all the way down and gives it a little rake...but I think it looks kinda mean that way. When I can afford it I'll change the springs out to what I use now.

But I do believe they are real coilovers....at least today when I was looking under my hood they looked real. Another thing you have to think about is suspension travel. The strut rod is too long for any kind of mega drop, we are looking into getting a different insert to fit with a shorter piston length.

and as for no torque.......heheheh my car is the fastest it's ever been right now........going ot the dyno soon I hope :)
