Beautiful car. I love it! I'm 1 month into my enjoyment of a 5 wagon. The one thing I feel the need to change is the higher-than-sedan ride height. I think a slightly lower height would do wonders for the top heavy feel, as well as that enormous gap between the tire & fender. Ialso love the look of your rack - are you running the Yak lowrider mounts?

Thanks! Yes, they are Yakima low riders. With regard to lowering, is there anyway to do it without compromising the ride? I would love to get a little less gap to the wheels but I love the way this thing goes down the road, I don't really want to mess that up.

looks good, but +1 for a drop. for the xi models, H&R makes lowering springs for them. ride quality will not suffer much with lowering.
