No, that is normal stance..hehe. I have heavy duty springs in the front and rear to keep it from bottoming out. Also helps that it's not my daily driver.

Re: lowered it an inch

if you go any lower, dont ever plan on driving in illinois. that car looks perfect the way it is. only way i would ever go any lower than that is if i had bags so i could raise it on the roads.

Re: lowered it an inch

definitely post pics in a week. it will settle more. mine did. i had 1" drop and it was more like 1.5 if you could get away with it, i think your front could use just a tad more drop.
