Lol nice. I'm only looking to have a 1" drop from what my stock height is at with oem suspension. Would that be possible with the FA coilovers? I read in another post somewhere that max height is still that slammed look. Dunno what to believe.

Absolutely yes.
I have the OEM FA500 setup.
Make sure you have the 8" Swift springs in the rear and reinstall the OEM spring pad and it can be adjusted from 1/4" above OEM to a$$ dragging slammed.

Spring length does not affect ride height on coilovers.

It does if the springs are too short. Stock
7" springs max ride height is too low for many ppl on FA500.
Call THMoto or Fortune Auto and they'll 'Splain it.

AUR11, how did you decide on 9k/8k? It seems like 8k is pretty standard for the back but I might have to also go 9k in the front if even your wife is liking it more than a BMW.

I honestly went with that rate because my swift springs were 8k and I thought 10k might be too harsh. The 9k seemed like a good compromise. I'm currently at 27" in the front floor to fender and 27.5" in the rear. Car rides great and looks good too.
