Do I do it or not. I really want to maintain the drive that I have now. Wheel gap isn't that bad..
Was thinking ghost links in rear and springs up front. Not too agressive of a drop

Not something I would do, but I have noticed when approaching my sedan even with the luxury suspension, it drops a pretty good bit in front already - or at least appears to.

In my opinion dropping it ruins the looks of it but if you go that way don't forget to install those 12" subs in the rear. You have lots of room for that...

Excellent idea. I can't believe I hadn't thought of this
