I apologize if this is in the wrong section or for not searching hard enough.

I am in search for the lowest setting coilovers on the market. I cannot find anything that can lower the car to tuck my 18's. I have a set of d2 coilovers and I have them on the lowest setting. I also used the preload springs to lower the car even more, doing so has made the car a little bouncy.

Does anyone have experience with coilovers that can put the car very low? Anyone have any suggestions for coilovers. Brands? models?

Something close to this

You know that handling, grip, ride will all be horrible at that height right? Since you mentioned its a bit bouncy i'm thinking you might care about ride quality.

IMO you would only lower that far for aesthetic reasons on a dedicated show car.

Just get air bags and lay rails....

Moat of the coilover suspensions on the market should tuck an 18 if adjusted right.

But do you want just the tyre tucking, or the actual wheel?

On the f2f, you will have to wind the thread right down into the reciver, then drop the spring seat rings as well.

And make sure the threaded bodies are in the right locations on the car.

bc br coilovers have lots of thread, fairly sure my sill panels would have been on the ground have i not wound them up before installing them.

Thanks for the suggestion I will look into those coilovers.

I dont think I want to go to airbags. I am just looking to tuck the tire.

Could the problem be that I am running z32 coilovers? I heard they are identical. The rears are also shorter on z32 i would think the front would be as well.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
