Can always go lower but if your going to be driving it a lot, I wouldn't suggest it.

I lowered it some more last night. I do drive a lot though, but oh well... I've driven about 60k miles and have owned the car for 2 yrs and 1 month. That doesn't sound too out of the norm, except the car was stored for about 10 months of that. Haha... oops. I just drive a lot, i'm not sure why.

wow, do you know the handling repercussions of slamming your car like that? Read up on suspension geometry before ruining another SC

Are you talking to me? If so, "ruining" and SC? If you want to preach, you might have to preach to the rest of the SC's in your state as they are wayyy lower than mine currently is.

I do not understand how he's 'ruining' his SC when the ride height is adjustable. However, I do agree with the handling degradation from being too low. I just don't see the 'lower is better' consensus around here.

Yep, that's exactly what I did last night. Went 1/4 inch lower up front and 5/8 of an inch lower in the rear. Looks good now.... it may be time for some 5mm spacers due to cambering in.

Here's a quick snap shot w/ the ****ty blackberry camera again... i swear it skews the angle a little bit. I'm gonna use a real camera sometime, it won't look so wierd.



What do ya think. There's literally 1/8th inch gap between the fender and tire now all around.
