By dropping it an inch how much performance gain do you actually get?
Looks are debatable.

AN inch? performance in the dept. of handling will be gained, lowering the car means lowering the center of gravity. Aftermarket suspension allow for better dampening and rebound, allowing for better feel of the road. Sure makes taking turns and driving the car hard, a lot more fun

Definitely! If a sidewinder can crawl under your car, then your C32 is too-freaking-high! You need it low enough that the Botts-dots scrape against your side skirts. Speed bumps are easily handled with a complex system of hydraulics which raise/lower your car at the flick of a switch. Chicks dig cars that bounce! It used to just be a Mexican thing, but now it is all the rage among the young Republicans.

Thanks to everyone for the props! Kleemann actually advised against lowering the car. Not sure if I'm going to or not.

rides pretty much the same... haven't really got on it though.

It's getting there... 90's. It's relatively cool out here.

Wow. I love those wheels! As others have said...a little drop would go a long way. Not talking about slamming it, but just fill in the wheel well gap and you're good to go.

Yes, they are 19's. 1.5" in the front and 2.5" in the back. I'm kinda thinking I could have went with 10" rear width's which would have allowed for a 3" lip. Shoulda woulda coulda... haha.
