I'll admit I'm a complete suspension n00b, and have never had a need to drop a car (although I have raised a truck or two) so pardon if this is a stupid question, but at least I'll learn something out of it.
The numbers I've seen so far for the FR-S range from 5.11" (Toyota numbers) to 4.9" (C&D review) ground clearance, so lets call it 5".
Dropping it 1.5 to 2 inches just to reduce wheel gap would seem to me to make it almost undriveable in the real world. I'm already concerned about some of the speed bumps I go over every day.
Am I missing something obvious?
