That's like asking if you want a dozen Brazilian girls wearing cheeky underwear dancing samba for 45 minutes in front of your face.

Yes, lower it.

I'm also from VA, what section are you from? That shopping center looks like Fairfax Corner or the new section in Dale City by the Wegmans.

Looks great as is Honestly. Dont go cheap on a lowering kit. I hate them strictly because of the Bounce you get. As far as lowering it. It will look great whichever way you go.

Clean SC. And most coilovers for the SC ride better than the old stock suspension.

My research has led me to believe otherwise, however respect for you Sc experience and successes leads me to ask you to elaborate and perhaps give some examples please.

I actually WANT what you said to be true as I badly want a coilover drop, but i am afraid of the NYC roads I drive on and the coilover horror stories I have heard. Many people keep and love them. Many people take them off immediately and It does not seem to vary only based on cost.
I'd love to know how to proceed without shaking up my kidneys and hating driving my car in NYC.

As for the OP's question,
Looks GREAT now.
It will look EVEN BETTER dropped some.
