I'm glad to hear that aren't tearing up the bottom of your car though!
Thank you, Chip!

Well, today I ended up lowering the front 2/8's of an inch from 1 line above a 1/2" to 1 below. Took me EXACTLY 5 minutes to do and made it sit right again. I probably won't go in for my alignment for another week so I can always mess with it here and there.

...and yes, today, out to lunch/movie with the Mrs. and MAN...amazing what that little bit of extra clearance before bottoming out can do...car felt and handled smoother.

BUT, to be honest...I STILL need to fight the sickness of KNOWING I'm not as low as I can be

You're awesome, man. I appreciate that...as someone that has ALWAYS been anti black on black...I have a hard time accepting that I'm rolling around that way myself sometimes.

Lol, J just because you know you aren't as low as you can possibly be, doesn't mean that your car still isn't sitting pretty. It doesn't have to be maxed out to still look hot!

Yeah, I guess it's called insanity when you KNOW something is a sickness but you don't do anything about it. I am certain the car looks awesome at this height, just have to wrap my head around it is all.
And honestly, it DEFINITELY drives better without the suspension being almost fully compressed all the time. There's some actual room for the shock to compress now.
Well, thank you boys...I guess I'd just gotten used to the tucking tire look and then even if it's a 1/4" higher, it feels like I put it back to stock
Crazy...washed her last night and threw some tire shine on, I admit, she looks great when there is just no wheel gap

Because your self esteem still needs a better foundation before building anything on it...otherwise, first breakup you go through you'd be cutting yourself and whatnot.
