Your drop is too low. The factory suspension have about 3" of upward travel. Now you've got about .5". You do the math. Just don't act suprised when you hit a .75" bump in the road on a rainy day and wonder why you went into the ditch tail first.

Why drive on a road that is bumpy on a rainy day?

I have sprints with a front lip and it rides fine. Yea its a little rough, but i'm willing to sacrifice some of the ride quality for a lower drop. Just watch out for most driveways. As far as "unsafe", wouldn't that depend more on the shocks? What shocks are you using?

I dont think my car is that low. I have more than .5 inch of suspension travel. I have only hit the bumpstops twice. You people must live on some beat up roads with killer potholes.

I think that drop is sick. I have heard of people with a sprint drop and a body kit. I think the lower the better **** all that other ****. I never seen no ricers loose control becuz there car was too low or no dumbness like dat. If its low its gonna handle better regardless. So maybe u should put on the sprints drive 4 a day and see how it look then u decide
