Just drop the front then .

But if you carry alot of weight all the time in the rear, then adjust it a little higher so it'll even out.

Should always get an alignment after lowering your car or adjusting the height of the car. The toe is the most important.

Depends what your definition of 'good quality ride' is.. everyone will have a prefrence. I've been dumped on PIC's on my other ride and I had no complaints.. Obviously a lot more stiffer and can feel the road waaay more..but it's the price you pay.

Your height from other pics I've seen seems pretty good already.
