- One of the biggest concerns w/running an extreme drop is serverly inverting the front A-arms which really throws off the suspension performance
- Running an extreme drop will also involve the front tires getting into the well liners, tearing them up. The liner is needed to protect the harnessing running above the well
- Not to mention the front bumper cover damage & issues w/driveways & such
For reference my ride height = Fender to ground = Front 25.375" & Rear 25.000"

How low you can go and how low you should go are certainly two different things. MP posted a great picture of how quickly thing get bad. If you want to be low up front you're going to have a tri-podding monster because front and rear roll centers drop a much different rate (3:1 vs 1:1). Unless you fix the RC issues, but I doubt you're ready for that step.
On stock uprights, Id stick to around 26-26.5 ground to fender height (assuming OEM sized 25.3" wheel) up front and 1/2" lower in the rear.

As you can see, im not that low. Its really set up for track work. Any time you lower these EvOs (any amount) the front arms will go inverted to some degree
Measure your EvO front & rear, fender to ground & let us know where it sits
What Dallas was referring to with the heights is approx 26 to 26.5" at the front & rear should measure approx 1/2" lower due to the body lines. So the rear, could be 25.5" to 26"
Thanks, Joe
