Default I thought it wasn't so bad, but lower is preferable

Default Great pics. Thanks a bunch. It doesnt look too bad. I might just wait and see this spring before

i do anything about it. NE roads are bad anyways. Stock height might just be easier if i can tolerate the look.

Default Again, never understood why the look of the car is so important to people...it looks great they way

it is. If you want to lower for performance purposes, that's a whole different story buy why so much concern over looks that you never notice when driving anyway?...

Default Lowering with just springs is bad for the OEM shocks, mmmkay?

C/O kits can be had cheap enough that its not worth "saving" on just springs, and then having to rip it all apart 5k miles later (if even that far) and put new shocks in.
