This car is AWD and excels in dirt and snow. If I had really nice coilovers, I would try to keep as much suspension travel as possible.

Volks looks great BTW, ignore the "dumpit brigade".
so, are you saying with a nice set of coilovers you would still keep the ride height close to stock? reasons?

just wanting to understand cause most say dump it and even though im not into fully having it gansta i still want my ride lower.

I have a friend with Vishnu Ohlins coilovers. His car is barely lowered, like maybe half an inch compared to stock, and its extremely competitive on track. Some full coilovers are designed to work with less suspension travel, and that's OK.

Its people that just put springs on stock shocks that are total nimrods in my book. They make the car ride substantially worse, handle worse (OEM Evo shocks are not designed to handle the lower ride height and don't get to use their full range of motion), and the stock shocks will wear out 10 times faster. So why do something to your car that makes it handle worse?

Oh yeah, to look mad gangster.

I'd use the ride height suggested by the manufacturer/suspension shop that sold them to you as a good starting point and not go any lower without checking.

For a 100% track car, things change from what I posted above. For a car that sees most of its use on the street, its a great way to destroy drivability IMO.
