So how low are you?
I was drivin thru the Delta Sonic car wash today when i was thinking about it, when i put my new springs on will my lip be hitting the metal part of the car wash that guides my tire along? So here are the details, 2" Drop with Sprint Springs and a Type B lip, you do the math, i think my car should be like 3-4 inches from the ground but i dont know if tht is enough clerance. Thanks guys. and also, are the KYB adjustable struts any good? i m thinkin bout getting those from nopi...

Rep Power: 308 Well everyone answered the Dropped questions, but KYB aren't suppose to be outyet. Big postings on that topics, search it. BTW I'm not dropped, riding on stock shocks and springs. 
Lowering= maybe later when I don't have so many expensises at the moment.

what do you mean messing up the rims? besides avoiding curbs i'm not worried.....but as far as tires go that's a different story but i just installed my camber kit the other day so i should be good for a while.

IS it worth all the trouble of scratching over speed bumps and driveways. Sometimes i think not. Especially 2 inches off the ground. There has to be limits.

from what i heard someone saying being low isn't always good for cornering....boilermaker or zzyyxx (i think that's his name) probably said it.
