I just lowered mine just below and inch and kept 3/4 of an inch in rake which is equal to stock or a smidge less. Just enough to make the car sit awesome. I would drop it more with aftermarket wheels like ccw 505s etc.

Here's mine on stock bolts lowered to the max. Been like this for 3 months and 2000 miles now so it isn't getting any lower by itself.

So I bought some "help" And going to cut the front bushings too.


Stock bolts maxed - still too high.


Stock bolts maxed - looks like a 4x4 still
