i think it is like 1" and a half or 2 inch's i didnt lower it, i bought it that way the only reason i was gonna take it off is bc i thought i would get more weight transfer and help it hook. do you think it will hook good with the lowering kit on it. and i live in centreville ,md

eibach drag launches FTW!!

but yea adder is correct lowered cars generally dont hook well and there is a massively long explanation why. but in short the rear geometery isnt ideal for hooking on lowered cars.
