2.25 isnt too low, mine was lowered 3.5 all winter I mean, it wasnt fun, but it wasnt too bad. But those specs make the rear lower, do you really want the back of your car lower than the front?

sorry lol, my bad, i meant 2.25 in the front and 2.0 in the rear

anything 2 is usually all good. It's when you start scraping on the little blue square things in the road that your to low. (I think they're used to mark fire hydrants)

jake2001z001

what blue things, lol anyways, cool thanks stealth

You know when theres a fire hydrant on the side of the road? Directly out in the middle of the street you'll see a blue one. They use it so that if theres a fire and its really smoky the fireman can find where the hydrant is. They are the same as the yellow ones that mark lanes. Maybe I should have just used that as an example. lol

lol, my exuast pan hits lane markers when i switch lanes, i think thats a good height.

I put the Eibach back springs on the front of my car and cut like 14"(not really that much) off the stock back ones. My car was super low. It was such a shitty ride too. My front bumper was like 2" off the ground. I didn't care about the bumper because it was already wrecked.
