Hose mod is about half an inch tops, right? Usually more like 1/4 inch?

If that's the case, yeah I would do it. Although I do think it looks good the way it sits right now. Car looks awesome btw

I voted yes.... but i have to be honest..... I just want to see how it will look. I'm in same spot. I lowered my front and now debate whether hose mod is worth the trouble for that 1/4".

Great Looking CAR!!!!

I did it on my old T/A and didn't notice any noise or difference in ride quality. I would do it again for sure

I had the hose mod w/ my car lowered w/ DMS springs, it was alright I guess but I wanted the rake look so I put back the stock isolator back in however with your springs look like you need the hose mod.

well as far as slicks, that will prob never happen to this car, the only kind of tire i will be throwing back there are some 315 35 17's when OE wheels comes out with the 17x11 c5 machined faced wheels later this year... i plan on buying another car when this one is paid off and heavily modding that one.
