Front Still has a little more then 1" more to go down in the front, but could barely drive the car as it is in these pics.
Will have some better pics up soon once I can find em :-)

Trimmed it a bit yes. Also modified the mounting tab where the fender meets the bumper to clear.

Why? They're too low in stock form! :iono:

Too low in stock form? Are you kidding?
This car feels unstable taking any kind of sharp turn, quick lane change or hell even and long sweeping turn there is tons of body roll.
Lowering it helped alot with the stiffer springs and the stiffer shocks and struts (adjustable)
But being that low in the pics was all in good fun. Not that low for some daily driving.

A sway bar addresses that problem and does a pretty good job of curing it. With a short wheelbase car (I had an xA that was lowered), the ride just plain stinks over bumps. IMO, the best handling (and riding) cars are BMW's. A big part of their suspension magic isn't complex suspension (they use macpherson struts just like any cheap car) or super stiff springs. . . it's all about sway bars (and not strut bars, but SWAY bars).

Yeah, but you can be as smooth on the road as you want, but it doesnt look that good rolling all 4x4 :-)

Well, you never said anything about that! Then again, it's nice not to be a cop magnet either. . . or to be able to actually drive the car on less than perfect (normal) roads or over speed bumps and/or driveways. For some people, being lowered means not being able to clear the driveway. Eh, not here to flame anybody who lowers. . . I did it once, a long time ago too. I was just addressing the fact that teeth shattering suspension is not the ONLY way to cure body roll.

Back on topic, the slammed ride looks good!

Your car makes my pants tight! Haha
I love that ride height, too bad it has to come back up... Heres a pic of mine, I raised it 3/4" in front and about 1/4" in the back shortly after this picture.
