Probably not a good idea - extensive engineering has gone into the design of the suspension and its ability to work in conjunction with ABC and all the rest of the components. You may end up with more problems than it's worth. Besides, you will definitely void your warranty. Personally, I wouldn't mess with it.

You have several choices.. 1. Lowering module (Kleeman, Brabus, Eibach, and Carlsson all offer one), expect to spend $1000-2000 plus labor. 2. Lowering links , $200-$300 plus labor..
Id do the links since if the ABC fails you can return it to stock without the dealer knowing you did anything.

joec1101 I love your ride aswell but no question it is begging for the same setup as lorinserbenz.. You have to adjust your suspension when running 19's or 20's because you end up with that chuck wagon look, And also your car will handle better if you lower it for aerodynamic and cornering etc.
