I remember seeing an old BMW 2002 that ran this type of setup at a track day at RFR.
You're looking at running the car, oh 2 inches *higher* than stock. I've never seen a non-rally coilover that can do that.

Also... is this the thread where I can post my "told you so" regarding my widebody comment Austin's WTB thread for wide wheels?
