Default Another Lowering Question

Basically I am looking to eliminate the wheel gap all together. what is the lowest set of springs i can put on my car? I am looking at springs and would of course upgrade shocks and an adjustable panhard, but i am also considering coilovers. I am trying to slam basically. Pics would be greatly appreciated also, thanks.

If you want the suspension to work, you do not want to slam the car. In fact even a 1.5" drop puts the back of the car on the bumpstops... More basically just leaves you with a go-kart and they don't work very well when it's bumpy or ride very either.

Shocks need travel to work, and if you leave none to speak of they can't very well do the job. But an adjustable shock will have the best chance since you can turn the damping way up and get a lot of force in the small amount of travel left.

actually yeah probably lol. my 240 aint cuttin it. and drag racin dont do it for me.

as far as how low i wanna go, i want to eliminate wheel gap all together, or at least minimize it as much as possible. right now im leaning towards tein adjustable coilovers cuz it looks like the best all around setup for what i want to do with the car.
