Where do you live, you'll want to lower it but the side exhaust is so f'n low it probably won't be possible.

I live in Hickory NC. Probably not an option to lower. Lots of hills and I would mainly be worried about speed bumps. IDK though, we'll see once I get to that point.

And yes, the costs just add up instantly....

JMO but don't lower it and the bumpers and side skirts will give the appearance of lowering and save the exhaust in the mean time....IMO lowering this car with this kit is strictly for show cars or one that is driven very little and the path was figured out beforehand. Take every speed bump slowly and NEVER go straight towards an incline or decline......move from one angle or another esp for curbs or getting into a plaza etc....and 19's is a great compromise and OKBFD (member on the forum -likes to hang out in OT) has 19's and it looks great. If you do go 20's get the Nitto INVO's as they have a 40 series tire to help fill the wheel well in the back (nice tread pattern too) and 35 series in the front and that will give you a nice cushion of air compared to mine which is 30 series all around ...no scraping as of yet and I have had many ask if the car was lowered and it is not...might do roush rear springs though after I get new tread in the back.
