sorry guys....I dont think my wife wants it lowered. I may be able to sneak the sport springs on the front for about and inch there. Thats probably about it. The rrear sets ok to me...but the front has a little too much wheel gap.

Thats exactly what i think as well, thats why i havent lowered mine yet, because i dont want to lower it and then depending on the springs, you still have the same effect of the front being higher than the rear...
