I just lowered mine and right now the front is 25.75, and rear is 26.50.
Was thinking of dropping the rear a tad more, but if I don't hit the speedbumps at work just right, I'm draggin the resonator....ugh...!

The front is 25 1/4 and the back is 25 3/4.Those speed pumps can be killer,I wont drive over a speed bump if its too high,if its questionable Ill go around.The front spring is adjustable so I could put the thing on the ground but you have to be reasonable.This cars got 11,000 miles on it,the last thing I want to do is start leaving parts in the road

Precisely the reason I won't lower mine that low.

That stupid speedbump at work is right inside the gate at the entrance, so there is no way around it! There are 2 of them, side by side, and if go directly between the 2, I'm ok. Just a tad off, and I mean a tad, and scrapppppeee.....
I may go out there with a torch and melt that sucker down to size one weekend!

I had a guy come to my house to tint the rear window,we removed the hardware he put soap on the outside of the window,layed his film over it cut it at like 66" acossed the back than trimmed it all around the window we lifted the reat window and tied it to my garage door,he sprayed it down, applied the tint,heat shrunk it,got al the water out,put the struts back on then untied it fom the garage door i held it as he trimmed where the latch goes,reattached new latch,colsed window.Looks perfect and it was the first 92 he had done,he said it was tough but it only took 2 hours so i dont see where it was tough.this guy is great any Floridians want his # let me know ,HE MAKES HOUSE CALLS AND HE ONLY CHARGED ME 75 BUX but that was for 1 window.
