what's a good drop height on 17's??? i'm looking for something close to being slammed...

slammed on 17's? at least 2", that i think would begin to tuck the tires.



kevin.

depending on what width and offset tire rim combo your goin with i have found only 1 inch is needed. i dropped my fc .75 all the way around and am having fender to tire rub on heavy load turns,,,,,,,,, i run 8 inch wide rims with 225 tires and had to space the rim out slightly due to the coil over suspention.

pics anyone...?

fc3sboy1, 1" is 3/4 of the way down with 17's???

as low as you can.

these are of the same car, just painted the hood and added the frount aero package, and yes this is only a .750 drop. i run JIC FLT-A2 suspention 225 ,45, 17 in frount and 255,40,17 in rear with 17x8 rims i do get fender rub on the frount under harsh bumps and heavy load turns and im at my max stiffness setings on the shocks. the sways are racingbeat. i could posibly go lower if i ran 17x7.5 frount rims but like i said there is a clearance issue on the frounts with the suspention and anyone who uses true coil overs like the jic or buddy clubs or i believe even hks knows about the issues. besides if you lower you fc lower then the frount control arms being parralel to the ground the roll center of the car goes below ground and you need to start using very very heavy frount springs to make the car handle better . there are ways around that though specialy if your car is a s4 as they have a boltable outter ball joint. randy

so i'm guessing 1.5" tanabe springs would be slammed?

yes
