Yea...I have the Sportlines and KybAgx. Mine lowered about 2.25" total. That mean I'm about 5-6" from the ground up. Its low enough for me. Theres no wheel gap, and i keep scraping shit...so...im def. low enough.

*Oh, word of advice*

When your ~6" off the ground....DONT try to go out some night when your city is in a blizzard, been snowing for 15 hrs, 6-8" of snow on the ground, plus another 7hrs or 4-5" on the way.

The streets were ok...(really slick) but the neighborhoods...they hadnt plowed those...umm at one point, my headlights disapeared. Im serious...My car felt like it was floating on the damn snow. I had to just floor it and coast/slide across the snow in the deep parts. Not fun! (i need a winter beater to drive!
