Launching!
Setting the GCs as low as they go would mean putting the car on the bumpstops front and rear. Is that really what you want a picture of?
I have mine set at about 26.5 front / 26.75 rear using the universal but inconsistent method of measuring at the fenders.

Now that I think about it, you're not going to find many people with the GC coilovers totally slammed because they usually get it for HANDLING purposes and not for show.
An f-body brought down to 2", for handling purposes, is NOT a good idea, cuz they're gonna have to stiffen up their Koni's and still the ride will be bad because the shocks are not getting enough travel and the cars going to be bouncing off of the bumpstops.
My factory height was 27-3/4" front and 27-1/2", so a 2 inch drop will be less than 26" on all four corners, that would be INSANE to drive around that low.
Okay, for showcar purposes, then fine, as long as you're not planning on putting it out onto the blacktop too often.

ok I understand all of this already I just wanted to see how low the kit could actually lower the car. See with pictures cause if it only goes 2 inches and my springs lowered me approx 2 inches then there is no point in me getting these. My problem is that the front end sits a little higher than the rear and I want it lower and I want to be able to raise it up if I ever need to. So now are there anyone with pics?

Here are pics of my old v6 from around 5-6 years ago on GC coilovers taken all the way down on the bump stops for pictures. Car was on Koni DA's full BMR suspension, GC's. I cut the stock spring perches and had the GC spring perches welded to the rearend and did the heater hose mod in the rear. A normal GC setup would not be this low in the back this was on the Bump stops all 4 corners. for whatever reason people still say it doesn't look low in the pics but if you look at the wheel to fender gap... yeah the tires would rub just turning the wheel.
Again I did this just for PICS!!! I didn't drive the car like this on a daily basis. Also I have no other pics of the car so this is all ya get.. lol!

Not sure how low mine is, but it is coil overs front and rear. It is a from Autofab racecars using the double adjustable fronts and rears... I have about 1.5" until the rear hits the bump stops, oh and I have a 1" taller rear tire than stock

wow thanks! i dont plan on lowering mine that low either i just am confused as my springs advertised are a 2" drop and i love the stance of the rear of my car but it seems as if the front is a little higher and then reading about the GC coilovers it states only adjustable 0-2" so im here thinking well if my car has 2" lowering springs and my front end is still too high then what the hell how are the coil overs gonna get me lower? so anyways thanks for showing me those pics now i at least know how it looks when they are fully dropped.
