How low can you go?? aka drop:)

[Prison]

(help)Hey guys, I want to get the Eibach sportline springs on my car. Its about 2" in the front and 1.5" in that back. If I drop it this low, will it bottom out? Because i heard for the speed3 that is to low and it even gets lower(flame)

The lower you go the propensity for bottoming out increases. The Eibachs you speak of should not be a problem.

If you've got a MS6 then... http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123663907

Eibachs aren't 2" from what I've heard. More like 1-1.5" which isn't too bad. Some claimed they are a little soft in the rear for the MS6 but should be perfectly fine for a regular 6. Dropping more than 1.5" will put you very close to bottoming out and you can expect to have a rough ride even around town. If you go the "very low" route you should look into adjustable coil-over packages such as the one offered from H&R.

I have TEIN springs installed which gave it about a 3" drop. No issues with bottoming out but the rear fenders had to be rolled and pulled out some. The ride is stiff

You dropped your SPEED6 3 INCHES? Are you kidding me? Is it cambered all to hell? I hope not =)

I guess it depends on how people drive... I know the way I drive mine I could never drop it 3 whole inche... i'm stock and have to worry about hitting stuff once in a while.

I'd like to lose an inch .. MAYBE a bit more... but 3 is... crazy.

I didnt drop it. The guy who had the car before me did. I have put 15k miles on the car since ive had it and the tires are wearing pretty even. The car does scrape if ur not carefull also my exhaust scrapse everytime it goes into the garage. Its not completely 3 inches but the guy that sold it to me said its was about 2.5-2.75

It's prolly 2 unless you've got adjustable coilovers (in which case you could raise it back up). My car was 2" and it scraped over medium sized speed bumps...if it were any lower it wouldn't make it over.
