Not true, the question. "How low do coil overs go" is dumb. Because its like asking how long a peice of string is. There are many different itterations on coil overs, all varying.
So its stupid to ask a question like that. It just shows that the OP did 0% research before opening his mouth.
Here's another catch phrase for you.
"its better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then it is to speak and remove all doubt"
I thought car forums were about helping people with car related questions. The OP asked a question and your contribution was to try and make him look like a fool.
You did nothing to help him except tell him to use google.
"its better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then it is to speak and remove all doubt
You should maybe practice what you preach, you have no idea, you are non helpful and to be honest anyone that takes your advise on anything car related is going to be making a massive mistake.
How are we supposed to answer the question.
You are not, as you have no idea.
If he had said "How low do Koni coil overs to suit my VX go?"
THEN I could have given him an accurate answer.
Well lets see if you can redeem yourself. How low can my VX be lowered using Koni coil overs.
Please supply part numbers, spring rates and what inserts would be needed to run at said height.
The thing is, Koni, Bilstein, Tein, D1, D2, Dirty doug from down the roads custom koilova's are all different.
So how can anyone answer the question he asked?
Quite easy actually, all you need is a little experience in this area.
Unless the OP is expecting us to go and do the research for him?
Again, isn't this forum based around helping members out???
Not all members are going to have a sound back ground in mechanical knowledge, so they come to a forum hoping to get a bit of a hand, not to be told that there question was dumb.
More info for the OP.
If you are only chasing the dumped look and not too concerned about handling you may have to build your own coil overs, but you will defiantly have issues with the shockie. you will have to do a fair bit of cross referencing stroke lengths and diameters to find some thing that works.
Another issue that you will have is the size of rims/tyres that you will be able to run.
to get your car to have the "dumped" look, the lower spring seat and the spring will sit lower on the strut leg itself, which will come down lower than the top of the rim and the tyre. This can sometimes be compensated be adjusting the camber and standing the tyre up a bit straighter. Downside to this is your car will not corner very well.
To be honest you really shouldn't go lower than about 350mm between the center of the front hub and the highest part of the arch of the front guard.
Next issue you may have is to get the height you need, you may have to remove the sway bar link mount from the strut leg to be able to move the threaded section of the coil over down far enough to get the desired height.
You maybe able to get a link system from Whiteline that attaches the sway bar to your lower control arm.
