Post How many inch can you drop w/out hurting your TL?

One time I had mine pretty deep, almost 3" on 18s and believe me it looked sweet. Compliments all the time. =o) But on mid-west roads, I got scared. So, this year I raised back up. Now its about almost 2". Still looks sweet, but not as good as the "slam." So, tell me what you guys think?

AnKiiGrL-
just wondering about the ride...
and whether or not you had to change the shocks since you did drop it 3"

i was thinking about getting them but opted for the eibachs instead
