It is a silly idea for the street unless you "bag" it.

Lowering a car isn't a all or nothing ordeal mine is lowered and I can drive fine on any street and go up most driveways. Just because it doesn't follow YOUR IDEAS OR PREFERENCES doesn't mean it's dumb or retarded or a bad idea.

Yep. Lower it, get some fattdaddy rollers, and trim your air dam up and it's not so bad!
I'm assuming you mainly scrape your air dam which isn't anything to worry about, hell it was designed so it could take that made out of flimsy rubber/plastic and on hinges in the center. Save your lower radiator frame with the rollers and trim ~1" off the air dam and you'll be fine. 1" off my air dam has ZERO cooling effects and sits just a hair over the rollers so therefore the air dam NEVER scrapes. If I ever hit anything it is the rollers on steep inclines/declines however I am lowered nearly 3" on coilovers.
Hope this helps!

My car is lowered all the way on factory hardware and it still scrapes the same as it did stock. It's not a life-changing event as some are exaggerating it to be. I would only be concerned with a full on race drop with coilovers. Common sense > this thread.
