If you lower it you open up all sorts of issues so if you just lower it then things will be be more stressed at the track. It is low enough stock but its the wheel gap that sucks at stock height. If you lower and don't change the shocks the ride will be rough. Lowering changes the angle of the lca and rear pinion angle so and adjustable panhard bar tubular/boxed lcas and relocation brackets would correct everything back and hook better than before. I lowered it with Konis and Eibach prokit and 1le bars and the car wheel hopped all over the place. I put on lcas and adjustable pan hard bar and the car launches better. I just now need my relocation brackets and sub frame connectors welded up to get the full effect. Hope that helps you with lowering options. Yes you can just lower it and pronounce suspension issues more or you could lower it intending to do all of the accompanying mods to have it working as a system. You should really look into the suspension section to read up on everything. I am just going through my experiences. Car looks good for the miles. Did you buy it with all of the mods listed in the sig.
