Noyce. It is the fastest color, but people often forget that TR also pulls the highest G's in turns.

I have no issues thus far.....All the way down on the stock bolts (about an inch). If you do decide make sure you get an alignment after or you can wear your tires much faster.

It will. I raised mine up a 1/2 inch

Just drop it a small amount and be prepared to located a dealer to align it with proper caster tools for the rear.

I'm really afraid of going over sidewalks, driveways, etc.
In stock form, the front sits pretty low.

I guess one way around it would be to increase the wheel size an inch and then lower it...
