I like that!.. its very subtle.. would like to see it with no lip on there but it still gives me an idea. I prefer the look that you cant really tell whether its lowered or not, yet it looks like it is a little..

Ditto. The Sports seem to only lower by a neglible amount because the advertised figures are based off of the Luxury model IIRC. Since our Sport models are already ~.5in lower, the additional lowering is subtle.Originally Posted by blue00r6

Hopefully if I nag enough...
Please do before and after measurements! Whether center of wheel to top of arch or ground to top. Either way, just be consistent. Thanks!
