Car height, how much lower can it go..
I've got TRD springs on my Hachi, lower and alot stiffer. Sits low but not too low, can't go much lower than this here in Sweden since they have speed bumps every 5 meters here Angry (at least feels like it sometimes)
Rims are 14" Watanabe, for comparison. Original dampers btw.

Car height, how much lower can it go..
Aram: i have not any digital camera or phone with one but shot the curent car last year, i have also scan of it if i remeber, will upload it.

I was a bit negativistic, what nohachi and i said aplies for really spirited driving for bumpy tracks like nordschleife or some local rally action or lowering in the range you want.

Dont mistunderstand me the shocks with the apex springs are great setup also for bad roads, comfortable gripy. The problem on my car is probably more the loweing of 25-30mm what the apex springs have and the lowered roll centre, to experience limitations at the bump stroke with this setup need very agresive driving and is not so common than the swimmy feeling(on bad surfaces) from the lowered front.

Not sure how long and if there is some bumpstop at the bottom of the cartridge.

Oh and shorten the piston rod does help something. the shock valve is in the right position of the stroke. Bilstein itself dont recomend too much lowering on the shock also because of higher presures in the gas chamber.

i forgott this thread.
Found some older scan. Not sure if its of use for you. Bilstein shocks and apex springs almost 2 year driven. Stock kouki hatch the front lowers more, will be even noticeable on coupe with lighter rear.
