I understand the stock suspension is adjustable. I am guessing this is height also? If so how much lower then the stock height can the GT3 go with the stock suspension?

I would imagine, that regardless of what the suspension can technically be set at; in the real world you can't go much lower, unless you only drive on a big sheet of glass smooth concrete. Speedbumps, potholes, driveways and road debris = unhappy lowered vehicle.

Why would you want it any lower. I already have a NICE scratch on mine and it's being replaced, just by going through a dip SLOWLY!

My question still remains, i am just curious how much lower it can go on the stock suspenson. Practical or not. I wanted to know how much felxiblity the stock coilovers have. Not saying i would even lower it. My current daily driver is much lower then a stock GT3 and i have no problems as long as you know where you are driving. I know some people may want to lower it for the track which is probably why it comes with this type of suspension. But would like to hear some insight on those who have.

+1 I would lower the GT3 for the track if I had the option. I am sure Fabryce @ GMG would have the answer..

If you lower it you end up with bump steer issues.
