Should i lower???

ive been debating on lowering my car...especially now since i got rims...but since my little town i live in is getting bigger they are making our main 2 lane into a 4 lane so the road changes every week...and the construction wont end until i prolly move out of the house ...

so should i lower the car or wait till i move out in 3 or 4 years..(i might not even have the car then but i hope i do)

I want the SSC springs but i'm in the same dilemna as you...NJ is filled with potholes etc. and I want to lower my car so bad and get tints (but don't want tickets since i'd go like 5% or limo) and don't want to bottom out or scrape up the bottom of my car. AHHh lol

Off topic but LMFAO @ light pole haters club.

I'd wait on the lower personally. For me, the SS S/C is low enough stock.
