This is my main concern, clearance and practicality. I have Eibach springs going on hopefully this weekend that will take me 1.1'' lower all round. At the moment, i barely make it up my driveway and my girlfriends driveway at stock height. Same with shit like maccas drive through and other places in town that have steep gutters are going to kill me. But 1.1'' is not a crazy drop, it's just going to be a perfect height for me. This is why i opted not to go for the Tein s techs 1.5'' would be pushing it for me.
The car itself is nearly illegal for me so i'm not doing anything crazy to jeopardise my licence as i depend on it for work..
Do whatever you want, but just think about driving every day with a dumped car.. it's not going to be fun.
