Default lowering your own car?

How easy, or not is it to lower you own car? How low should you go if you have a roush front bumper? I dont want to **ck it up every time I go over a bump or a steep driveway.

i would not go any lower then 1.75 in front. mine is lowered 1.5 with 1/3 coil cut off so it probably is close to 1.85" - 1.90" and i have to go really slow over speed bumps or my oil pan/ K-Member hits.

Agreed. I have the Eibach Pro Kit (approx. a 1.5†drop) and on tall speed bumps, I scrape! [:@]
