If your driving on rough roads, then maybe not. I lowered mine, myself with eibach Springs and put on the sways. Love the way it handles and looks, but most of my driving is on fairly good highways or roads. If you do it, be sure to re-tighten the sways once in awhile. That seems to be the problem most have with the eibach sways. That is what causes the clunking some have mentioned. Lockite fixed the problem. Its not that hard of a job, if your handy and have some tools.

I guess that makes me two because I agree with you unless you road rally or something.

Oh, there are MANY who don't like the dropped look. Me, I like it subtley. I don't dig the 'slammed' deal.

I didn't used to like the dropped look either. But I was kinda chasing the concept look of filling those wheels wells up. Now I just love the way a lowered car looks. I've kinda chaged as far as that goes. In high school, I had my Camaro with a raked look. Higher in the rear.

Yeah, my 73 Charger SE was raked. Huge rear tires and a 3-4 degree down angle. Loved it.

Oh, and what thread started by the OP could go without the....
