what kind of car do you drive? with most civics 1.8 inches is close to ideal when lowering a car. any more than 2 inches is not going to yield better performance.

i drive an integra
and i found out for some reason acura placed a chuck of metal thats
parallel to the tire surface(if you take out the plastic well guard) and if
you hit a big bump. the metal cuts at parts of the tire(now im worried
about lowering it) and eventually will take pieces. but theres no way im
gonna keep driving it raise up. so ill keep looking
