I think it can drop 1cm more. Not as much as Buddy Club, but lower than Bilstein from the looks of it.

Well played... the mini rims look really clean on the GE with that drop. Have you had to address any wheel well rubbing issues?

Thanks. I added a camber kit with the coilovers since my previous lowering springs setup rubbed without one.

Uh...it's awesome! Not speaking from experience, but I mean come on...there's a reason it's pretty expensive. As far as getting super low for looks and still having the option of raising up for clearance when needed, you can't do any better. I don't know about the durability of airbag setups as far as heavy driving goes, like tracking the car or just driving it hard. Seems the bags would be too soft for that. I don't know. I know I've seen performance cars/trucks w/ air suspension before though. Maybe it just depends on the type you go with.
