Depends on what you are looking for. Lowering the car too low will compromise suspension geometry and thus handling. Usually you can lower the car to about a couple fingers worth of gap and it will a) look good/clean and b) still handle better than stock. Any ideas on what suspension you will go with? Budget? Overall goals?

a local shop is giving a discount on theirs, sonic tuning. Was gonna go with them. Goal is to change the overall look to more aggressive. I don't want the car to be extremely bumpy though and I don't plan on tracking the car anytime soon.
