really depends on your surrounding conditions and preffered comfort... the higher the ride the smoother over bumps, the lower the harder over bumps and faster around corners...

true..my main concern is the rubbing of the front tires on the fender on slow tight turns..i live in the city so tight 90 degree turns are a must..both front and rear tires are tucking inside the car...i have relatively big tires now..im running 55 for winter but i'm definitely going to have to get some 50

i got a full body kit and i got ground controls with KYB adjustables, i got mine dropped about .5 inch. I wouldnt go under 2.5 inches with no kit in my opinion.
