You're in great shape then. The stock coilovers are adjustable. You have a range of about 2.5 inches of adjustment.

I brought my car to a place that did my tt and asked them to lower my Lambo about an inch all around because I was changing my wheels. They told me that they couldn't because it was already at the lowest setting. I found that strange because I know someone else that has one and he said he just had it lowered with the factory stuff in there

No problem. I'm not sure how low your car is now but it may be worth having another shop take a look at your G.

You might already be at the limit of the factory springs. You may have to get shorter springs to lower it more than factory springs/coilovers allow. I swapped out the factory springs with shorter/stiffer springs from Swift on the factory coilover and problem solved.

Swift makes en EXCELLENT spring. Just make sure you don't get go too low, or you could end up damaging your dampers.

There's also the option of aftermarket coilovers. KW makes a set, and I'm sure Ohlins or Moton also do.

Good thread, thanks. I've been considering having mine lowered an inch to 1.5''. I've really liked the look of others' Gallardo's that are lowered.

Ok..... I had my car dropped today and it looks great. I put 20 inch rims on it and bringing it down made all the difference
