Recommendations on which ones? Also, will lowering have a major effect on the FI exhaust as far as it ever scraping over anything? I hate asking stupid questions but how else will I learn?

Depends on the cans. The first gen scraped more I think I remember hearing. If you are gonna buy springs SWIFT is the way to go hands down. They will lower it about 1" rear and 1.25" front

Am I wrong in saying there was a first gen that was lower than the current model. I forget.

Yup, you got it right. Second Gen gives a touch more clearance.

I've touched the exhaust down once, but that was when I was hooning on a rough back road in Central PA. Other than that, no issues!

Also, don't forget the Koni's. Swift without Koni is like a day without sunshine. It's like toast without butter, eggs without bacon, a dog without its bark.

It's like going to the prom with your sister (or brother), like going on a blind date and it's your second ex-wife (or husband), like having the house to yourself for the weekend and all of your friends are busy, like showing up to work on a Sunday by mistake, it's like getting socks for Christmas.

Please, please, please do not get me started on tire selection.

I am onzedge and I am born to help (and rep) others.

Dammit guys, now I'm shopping around.
Going to have to seriously think about it tonight and decide in the AM. Thanks for all the helpful info and answering my noob questions! This is why you all are my faves.
