I think that my car has already been dropped a little over an inch, but another inch would be nice. I'll just need to be on pothole alert.

I cant even imagine such a drop on New York roads!
I'm looking at my Summit catalog, it's got Intrax springs in it, and that will give you a 1 3/4" drop.
I scrape like a ****, and I have the stock springs, I've thought about lowering my car, but I think I'd rip off my exhaust.

Your stock springs are probably worn out.

< I would say so, I still have stock springs, and with 225/40/17 I dont scrape one bit. You sure its not your tires scraping your exaust? Got to be carefull with that ****, is your heat shielding still where its supposed to be next to the muffler? Check it if its getting banged up.

The exhaust is scraping, right now I have the stock exhaust on, and I don't scrape. I had to bend the heat shield around the mufflers after I put on the duals. After I put it back on I will try and hang it a little higher, and see if that helps.
13BAce, did you use TII or NA springs to lower your car. I was told that because I have a vert (and they are much heavier than a NA coupe) to use TII springs. Just wanted to get your $.02.

I believe that stock TII and convertible springs are the same. I'm using Suspension Techniques springs on my convertible, and I don't have a problem with bottoming out. That's with Tokico Illuminas set on 5.
