@jdmvette, I 100% agree!! It looks like a 4wd. I tried however and the lowering bolt on the drivers side is seized tight. I don't want to go too crazy incase I break the nut loose inside the spring. I am going to be soaking the bolts daily for the next week to see if I can break it loose. I would like to go down about an inch on the front and 3/4 on the back.

That is a great idea for a show car or garage queen but you may want to drive it and not be nicknamed "SPARKY".

I've been driving my lowered car daily for just a minute or two.
It's not an issue at all.

I agree, all three of mine are lowered. Just can't take those speed bumps at 100 mph.
