had my old car lowered 2" it looks nice and isnt that bad to drive just have to be careful going in and out of parking lots the only time i saw any kind of a real problem was when i pulled it into work and tried to get it over the lifts so if you dont work in a shop and you go and get tires put on it tell them to be careful or they'll rip some s h i t off lol
