I hear stock shocks and h&r's will yield a softer ride, C - you may have to get stiffer shocks.

Funny - I was just gonna ask you when you were planning to drop it when you posted the black spoiler thread, but thought "I shouldn't encourage you to spend more and more money" LOL

I am lowered on HR's with 20 x 8.5 Beyern. The car doesn't scrape but I do rub inside of fender more than I would like.

Measure the distance from the fender lip to the ground. Thats probably the only way to objectively compare each others cars. Of course different wheel / tire combos will affect the actual suspension drop but at least we can see where others are at in terms of the body.

Ill start it off.
25 3/8" rear - 25 5/8" front.
