Basically, my xsi will be dropped on banded steels next week 8.5j rears with stretch and fronts 7j (ithink) with 20mm spacers all round if needed (will see how it sits first) im currently running fk street coilovers and dampers with a drop of 40mm at the moment but im just concerned at how soft they are. i just dont want to drop it and end up scrubbing everywhere because as it stands now with my 17s i cant get more than one in the back without it scrubbing everytime there's an uneven road. what shocks have other people used with big lows?
Thanks

I run racelands with custom top mounts that allow mine to go so low that I could technically have the sill resting on the floor with 16's
Ride comfort and big lows dont go

If its soft either get stiffer dampers or stiffer springs
