It didn't lift it too much, but it's noticeable. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of it at this time. I'll try and get some later today and post them.

beat3rfocus, I didn't lift it on purpose, it was the new springs I had put on. But it will come in handy when I start doing RallyX with it next year. As for the Brembos, I'd just like to have something better than stock and from what I've researched, I would need 17" wheels in order for the brakes to fit properly.

Timmeh!, Yeah, Mike Kuss.

Yeah, when I had others in the car with me, I was scraping the front bumper on the edge of the driveway because it lowered it so far down.

Learn to drive...lol.

I had my car lowered 3" or so. Barely scraped the front. Rubbed with a full load of people or cargo only on big dips.
