Re: How LOW should she go???

don't get the Cheap Kumho's - it's like driving on ice, spin un-mercifully.

the inch and a quarter drop drags the car in MANY places
but it's just something to be considered.
usually, the cross brace under the tranny is what drags, or the Y pipe.

my car is seriously hampered on interstate trips:
--load of luggage
--full tank of gas
--high speeds

all combine to bottom out the rear suspension on imperfections.
it's bone jarring, and hurts your feelings.

I've pulled the plates from under the bump stops, and trimmed the bump stops,
still hits hard going fast on rough stuff.

you should be able to figure out tire diameter versus stock on tire rack.com,
and know your drop limits that way.
