....... snap out of it!

Because:

* the chassis was engineered for that ride height and springs

* so, it's an inch lower, it ain't gonna corner any better

* plus, who in the hell is gonna notice ..... cept the kid up at the mall who sees you awkwardly climb out of it with a grimace on your face and comments ..... "nice ride there old man" ...... as he his eyes

* 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 .......
