I know it will look much better, But it will also give a harsher ride.

I agree, it would look better with lower profile tires.

If you already have coilovers (or springs), the difference isn't too much in ride harshness IMO.

Looks darn good man. Nice tasteful drop, not too much and probably still have a decently smooth ride. Don't change a thing!

Wow really? I thought it looked nice. Must be a little harsh? The V2 does look like a great setup for the price though. Can't blame you.

Great progress so far on the car. I think you should lower it a little more. The Comptech Supercharger will be a great addition and makes the car complete. I love mine.

lowering the car even more is not an option for me. I need to maintain a decent height and not worry about speed bumps or inclines
