I've always thought it looked a little higher. If you noticed it looked like that from the factory in the first pic. I've thought about going a little lower but worried about affecting the rake...

It looks good and tire size is kind of critical in trying to "fill up" the wheel wells and look asthetically symmetric.
What are the wheel & tire sizes?

Looks good. It will take another week or so to really settle in. I had to raise mine back up a little to get the best handling. Make sure you're happy with it before you get the alignment.

How far did you lower it initially? I was just going to lower as far as it will go on stock bolts which I am told is about 1 inch?
Also, you need to get an alignment after lowering on stock bolts?

Racie, car looks much better now
