While it's out of service, you might as well go ahead and lower it. C'mon, you know you want to. If you order now, your suspension could be there before the paint is even dry.

Jeph,
I noticed the pics in this thread show your car without the hardtop. Just curious if you removed it before it went to the bodyshop or if they removed it for some reason?

ddb, the hardtop is safe at home in the garage. I figured it would just get in the way of repairs & painting.
jeffsquire (jephsquire would be cooler), you're too late, I've already taken Grizzly's bait... after my finances recover from this upgrade (and the Acura TL I just bought), a lowering will be required. Grizzly even forced me to get the silver hood badge! The nerve of that guy.

Yeah, he didn't want to do it. I was twisting his arm the whole way!

add skirting and the car will look lower. Just enough to give it a better appearance.
Lowering is such a big expense and such a gamble.. not a mod to go cheap on. Seems crazy to spend more on labor than the actual parts.
I'd save up for the full coil over Bilstein PSS9 set up if you are going to fork over $600 for an install. The ride height possibilities are limitless.

^ I'm wondering if that fender gap between the tire is due to the weight of the front bumper and headlights not being on the car. Is the car sitting on anything? Those two parts parts aren't that heavy but...
p.s.
did they put the cover back on your cabin filter? Those body shops are toxic..

They obviously paid a good deal of attention to the alignment of the panels. Looks great...
