"lowered on stock bolts" I'd like to go lower but my driveway won't allow. I scrape the rocker panels now if I don't back out at an angle

Besides, I have read that going lower than on stock bolts will negatively affect handling.

You need to add, "stock height now, but only because I haven't had the time to lift it to lower it on stock bolts."

I'd like to lower my car but I actually drive it on gravel/dirt mountain roads so I need all the clearance I can get.
