Default Lowering Car w/ 20's?

Hey guys,

I have been contemplating lowering my car to improve handleing and looks. My question is, with the 20s I have, how uncomfortable will a 1.5 inch drop or so make it? Will this also cause a lot of scraping issues? How much do people w/ 20s normally lower there cars?

if you find the ride is too rough you can pick up a set of tokico d specs and leave them a little softer. with a drop like that though, i'd also reccomend an adj. panhard rod, camber bolts, and control arm relocation brackets

IHAVE 20'S W/ SPORTLINES TOO. YOU COULD GO FOR THE PRO KIT AND IT WILL HELP A BIT AND ADD D-PECS AND IT WILL HELP EVEN MORE.

Went w/ the Eibach Pro Kit here ... it's weird, it seemed like the road beat me more w/ my 18's versus my 20's ...

Who knows, it may have been my imagination ...

I haven't lowered mine yet, but when I do (next off-season) it's going to be bags.. I can't drive it around lowered too much because of the exhaust.. But, I want it to look nice for shows.
