I actually lol'd at this. I pictured Ultra giving no fucks while Steve pulled his hair out in an anxious fit.

Nope nope nope. Not gonna do it. @humfrz, I need a dope slap.

Do it. Just do like me and except that you look silly getting in and out, but you look cool while in the car!

* you think your front lip takes a beating now ...... just wait till you run completely over a parking stop and back up, tearing off the front bumper

* NOW you know where you can't drive because of the clearance issue ...... all that will have to be relearned

* you think mrs ultramaroon complains about its rough ride and getting out of it now .......just wait till it's even rougher riding and lower

* OK, go ahead lower it and see how long your car's rear axils hold up ......

* mrs ultramaroon - "how much are lowering springs including installation..??". Oh really, you're gonna install them yourself ..... while you could have been doing ____________ that I've asked you to do all summer. Well, I guess we CAN afford replacing perfectly good springs on YOUR car ...... but, the new kitchen ________, that I've been wanting is just not in the budget ......

So, there, @Ultramaroon ....... it's your call .......

Wheel gap - schmeal gap - that is nothing but a scam started by the aftermarket to sell springs/coil overs......it's just

The car already has a lower COG that 99% of the production cars in the world ..... if you want a lower machine ...... get a go-kart .....

I'm just glad we didn't do stupid things like that back-in-the-day ........

Do it because you're after a handling change and your new coilovers are designed for a different height. Otherwise, why bother?

Careful for what you suggest while on sacred Indian land.

There is an old Salish Indian story that starts something like this ......

"One spring day Coyote (Ultramaroon) and Fox (soulreapersteve) were out for a walk (drive), and when they came to a big smooth rock, Ultra threw his blanket over it and they sat down to rest. After a while the sun became very hot, and Ultra decided he no longer needed the blanket. "Here, brother," he said to the rock, "I give you my blanket because you are poor and have let me rest on you. Always keep it."
Then Ultra and Steve went on their way. They had not gone far when a heavy cloud covered the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled and rain began to fall. The only shelter they could find was in a coulee, and Ultra said to Steve "Run back to that rock, and ask him to lend us the blanket I gave him. We can cover ourselves with it and keep dry."
So Steve ran back to the rock, and said, "Ultra wants his blanket."
"No," replied the rock. "He gave it to me as a present. I shall keep it. Tell him he cannot have it."……………"

(it does not end well for the Coyote or the Fox)

NAH!

The ONLY way an old man would look "cool" sitting in a twin, is if it had the windows tinted with twice the legal level of tint ......
