Love the wheels!!!
Lowering, hmmm. I'm not lowered and cautious as they come and I cringe everytime I hear it rub. I can't imagine it being lower and the cringe factor increasing!!

The first thing to rub will be that front air damn which has springs to retract back. A basic drop using just the bolts wont hurt anything. Its when you start chopping bushings and removing bolts you can go too low on the stock setup.

Tom, your car looks fantastic. How much did you lower? inch? inch and a half?

reading my post above you can lower on stock parts by removing the front bolt or cutting bushings, and longer bolts in the rear. However ride quality will suffer even with new shocks. Been there done that. Coilovers really the only way to go!
