This is the new ride height, to much wheel gap in stock trim for me.

Not super duper low, but lower than stock by about 1.5 inches. Being a vert, if the speed bumps are just a little higher than what I consider normal height, then it's a slow scraping crawl over them as my X brace drags. But I enjoy it anyway. It sets a good bit lower than my 08 coupe.

Well I took mine around the block and it settled, front down a little over 25 inches and the back a little under 26. Looks like I'm going to have to bring this joker up more. I guess Ill shoot for 26 in the front and 26.5 in the rear. But it looks MEAN now.
