Looks great for a Daily Driver. I hate not having a driveable car, not sure how everyone rides around with no clearance at all without being a constant state of panic. The reality is that roads are not perfect and cars are meant to be Used, that's me atleast.

Car looks perfect!

Doesn't need to go any lower if you ask me. I think it looks great as is A little wheel well gap is better than none You'll agree the first time you bottom out on a speed bump.

Trust me the roads here are not that good. When i have the time i will be taking apart the suspension and taking out one of the spring holder that adjust the ride height to give me a lower stance. As for now tho I am happy with the drop and it ride amazing.

I still go slow over some of the big speed bumbs and manage to scrape a tiny bit.
