I lowered it 1.5 and this leaves 3/4 inch from top of tire to fender , however i dont drive it that way it rides like shizz.
Between the 20 inch rim and lower profile tires.
I drive it on the middle setting witch gives the car a 3/4 drop from stock witch looks great and drives good.
This still leaves me the last setting witch is about the stock ride hight.

It will be going for an alignment , these cars have a slight negative camber in them at stock hight so when you lower it this becomes very apparent. So they need to pull some of that negative camber out.

Ya it looks hot but im a very OEM type guy so im still on the fence about leaving it that way, i need to drive it and let it soak in a bit LOL. I already know i wont drive it on the low setting i tried and it really wrecks the ride of the car.
The one thing that is keeping me is the fact that i can leave the car on the middle hight range and it gives me a 3/4 inch drop that i can use.
The other is purely a car night or show type setting.
Anyone else go this way ? The 3 hight settings is nice as there was no use for them before the car looks like a 4x4, im guessing this was put in for the up north guys or snow?
