I'll not be lowering mine. The bottom of the front bumper takes enough abuse as it is on the streets around here.

No doubt any sports car looks good lowered. When I had my eclipse, I lowered it and regretted it. I eventually put the stock springs back on.

My S is my daily driver and lowering it would compromise the ride quality. I like it now stock springs.

Drop it like it's hot. Esperil springs on stock shocks. Looks so much better.

Only time I enjoy my lowered S is when I'm out of the car and just look at it, what a pathetic mistake I did to one of the most fun car "TO DRIVE".



P.S. It was the Silverstone I sold, BTW. This one I'm keeping it as it is.
