Should I reconsider lowering my car?

It's worth it :P

The Swifts ride so good, and the car looks so much sexier. Can't go back.

If you guys are complaining about a 1" drop y'all don't know squat about driving lowered cars haha

This was my s13 it was dropped 3.5" all around

Op, you should be fine. If you have an after market lip like the S Line, Varis, or a Seibon GT, you'll scrape majorly and they would not last unless you have skid plates. If you do not have a lip you'll be ok. Leave the two air diffusers that right in front of the front tires. They'll scrape a lot but that's ok, it is just rubber.

Yes don't lower it.

Don't be low and slow, this ain't a Honda now.

I have a 40th as well and have decided on Swift springs. Just waiting on new tires, since I will have to do an alignment anyways.
