Coilovers that don't lower too much in the rear

kianf22 · 01-28-2022, 04:09 AM

Anyone know if there's any coilovers that don't lower too much in the rear? Everything I see tends to have a minimum of 1-1.5" drop. My tires will rub fender if I go too low.

Preferred drop range would be from stock height to about an inch lower. Anything over that I wouldn't utilize, and I need to make sure I can get the rear to sit high enough.

Currently on dinan springs and bumpstops which are rated 1" drop in the rear. (Though I think it's a little more than that) Rubbing mostly on the passenger rear which sits 1/4" lower than the driver rear. The other fender has the thinnest line of rubber on the very inside, which could be mitigated with just a touch of negative camber. But again, ride height would be key here.

Appreciate it in advance! Really hard to find advice on this as there's not many that have gone my route with the car. Most people wanna dump the car as low as possible on 18s.

Yes, Ohlins R&T. Recommended drop is 20-30 mm and easily run it at stock height or higher. Most common complaint on Ohlins is that it doesn't lower enough.

I'd recommend TC Klines

IIRC they can exceed stock height but can also get pretty low if you so choose. I love mine!
