Nothing too fancy... just a tad lower.

Been contemplating lowering my front for a while and yesterday was the day I took the plunge. Was initially aiming to go down a 1/4 inch from 25 3/4 to 25 1/2 but after settling overnight it is a tad lower than I aimed for at t 25 3/8. Loving the new look

Looks sick and perfect clearance. Amazing how little makes such a difference and how good it feels to get that dialed in to what you want.

Thanks dudes! Having the front higher than the rear has bugged me for a while but didn't wanna risk going lower before driving to Zdayz and Florida last month. Now I feel like I should've done this a long time ago!

Road quality and where you drive to does make a huge difference on how low you can go. I DD my car and most everywhere I go I'm good. The only place I can no longer access is my parents driveway, so I just park on the street when I go visit them. I can live with that

Tein SS-P with 9/8 spring rates. I DD with the damping set at 13/15 for a plush ride and switch to 3/4 or lower for spirited driving. Had them set on full stiff at 0/0 when I road the Tail of the Dragon, the car was planted but still soaked up the bumps decently without being too harsh.

Like I said yesterday, I'm still debating going a bit lower - roughly .0001" lower to be exact. I believe I am slightly below the 27" mark at the moment... Monster truck status compared to some of the Gs around these parts.

I know you're all about driveability but believe me when I say that you could safely go down to 26 even and still not sacrifice driveability. You'll be amazed at how much room you actually have under there. Just do iiiittt
