lowering
So I just measured from the bottom of each tire, straight up to the beginning of my fender, and on all four corners, my fenders are exactly 26'' from the bottom of my tire. There is no way in hell that my car is as low as yours HP. Either that or the difference between your 17inch bullits and my 18inch saleens is drastic enough to look like a different drop.
By getting away with it meaning that the settings are safe, but not spot on that they would increase tire wear and prematurely wear out your tires, you could get away without c/c plates on any drop. If you are using coilovers, you need them regardless, as the spring is putting all the pressure on the strut tower essentially. But with a low drop like OP seems to be wanting, you're going to need c/c plates unless youre wanting to buy tires every couple months. I'd rather pay the $200 now anyways and they look better too, not that I really care but its not pointless to say the least.
I just decided to get into the fun..
Im at 25" in the front, 25 1/4" in the rear, and I have about 1" more of downwards adjustment on the sleeve of the coilovers.

I pulled my isos out up front and got a .5" drop
The rears i might have gotten 1/8" drop if i was lucky...
The .5" was noticeable to me and i did enjoy the added lowering, but don't expect anything DRASTIC...
Look in the caliper painting thread by mustanglouver... I posted a pic of a blue saleen and he has before and after pics of the front isos... It's on page 1.

I see the car is parked in 2 different locations. This could effect the wheels gap alot, that drastic of a change is not from isolaters only, because the car went from looking like a normal prokit, to coilover status. That is not acheived with removing the isos alone. Don't get me wrong, I never ran isos with my prokit because it definitely makes it lower, but not that drastic.
That's the picture i was referring to^^! Just didn't feel like posting it up since it takes time hahaha.
Purp, you COULD very well be at 26", but i thought for sure i was lower than H&R SS... Are you on level ground? That's a big factor as well... Mrsinister took measurements of his car with H&R SS no isos and i cut mine to 1/4 lower than his F/R... oh well! Same drop Rob! Same diameter tires i'm sure... 245/45/17 and 315/35/17
Killjoy, that b*tch is slammed then. Send me pics of your car please and thank you!

So my car right now is in my garage....its off insurance and "parked in the garage" until April 1st. There is no way we have the same drop though...I refuse to believe it!
