you should be able to go about 2 inches and still get it close to 0deg.

anything lower than that and you will need to elongate the slots in the arms some.

yeah you can use washers on the rear... search the forum for 'washer trick'

btw, what all is done to your corrado, i have a friend who had a lysholmed corrado running 15psi... ;-) car was fun, but fucking slow for how fast it felt

you gotta make sure its high enuf to fit a jack underneath it, my car at its stock height with a flat tire is so low the jack cant fit under it :(

Don't you need shock/struts that can handle the lower ride, I mean won't they bottom out and limit how low you can go?

I had to raise the car from the front some first using the stock car jack, then I'd fit the regular jack in from the side. I raised my car back up cause of the header clearance issue.
