I remember reading somewhere that it's 1.3 in lower, but I might be wrong.

The back looks fine (especialy once I put bigger rims on it), but the front sits a little too high for my taste. Droping it another inch in the front to level it out with the back woud be nice. Shouldn't be that expensice either if I only do the front with slightly smaller springs (could still use OEM front struts).

Several people on the site have lowered thier cars. Most popular choice seems to be H&R cup and coilover kits.
