Default Lowering a Convertible?

Has anyone here lowered a convertible? Just wondering how bad the X-brace scraps. Seems to scrape on everything now. Just curious. Maybe I'll just lower the rear.

no problems here.

only place i ever scraped was at the drive thr at the bank.

The "ruts" are worse than some dirt roads.

Hi Phil. I met you on the April 7 cruise to the Plantation! Another question for you. Have you had any problems with the leather on the rear deck lid bubbling up? I have ask a few upholstry shops about it and they won't touch it.

Just lowered mine all round, no scrapping so far. It's down about 1", ride height is now 680mm (26 3/4 inches) all round measured to the underside of the highest point of the wheel arch when on level surface. This looks good and just has a little built in non-scrapping factor.
