    screw practicality, lol, I've got a Honda for that. The springs up front are quite stiff, 1200lb'ers.

      Everybody has a different viewpoint. For a DD, absolutely not. For a weekend/project car, yeah, go for it. Not sure if I'd lower the crap outta sedans; but it seems to work for wagons. I like the way that CP looks.

        I added 1" spacers to the rear springs, and some ES poly front upper isolators.

        Motor is not in, but with these springs it will only squat another like .25"

          I like that a lot. The wheels changed the look.

            The angle helps too. It certainly looks just like the factory forward rake, just lower.

                  It also has the 91 axle under the rear with 1.25" spacers on it. So that huge rear tire tuck is gone

                      I've got as Miata that I can't take over speedbumps in the parking garages around here anymore, but how low is your lowest ground clearance sitting level? I don't need two LOW cars, but dang I've grow to like a slight tuck on stock looking wheels.
