shane, while your protege does look damn nice.... i think that might be pushing the point of this thread,

my intepretation of the OP's idea with this thread was to post cars that while lowered can be taken to a track or autocross at any point, any day and not worry about it rubbing, shredding tires etc etc...
 
basically, as long as its not hellaflush, scraping frame, donk, stock height or stretched, its fair game. I'll bet the outer face of shane's tires are very nearly the same as where mine are, just took a different route to get there.

My car is all about function Dude :) No rubbing or tire shredding here not even when I get 235's up front!! Unless I'm showing off then I can shred them all the way down the street in most gears but tires are too expensive

shane how do you like those NEX coils? been seeing them on ebay for years, they're priced pretty well
 
I love them and haven't had any problems at all. They were brand new for just under $400 at the same time normally sold for $699. They don't have dampening adjustment but they are perfect for me plenty of drop and more stiff than stock but not too much so :)
 
Here is my RX7 lowered on S-TECHS with cough cough (shady) 17x8 mustang wheels wraped in 234/40's... Hope you enjoy!

My gravel road to the house is enough to keep me reasonably up off the ground, though I love the look of a full slam. I like to think I rep the best of both worlds!

Sub. I'll post pictures later. The OH crew can vouch for me...

He's hard, so hard. He had to use a scissor jack because the big floor jack didn't fit under his FC with the Stance's.

Jk, man, I freaking love your car. And best of all, it's functionally low, to the point where I'm sure it handles great, and can still be driven like it's designed to be.
