I'd rather have a lower stance than a slightly more comfortable ride. That pretty much went out the window with coilovers.

welll my stance pisses me off; i think i'm going to have to switch to coilovers.
if u want to measure by finger gap
in the front i have less than a finger between the tire and the fender.
and in the rear about a finger's worth of tire is up inside the fender.
from the side and the rear; the car looks slammed.
from the front because of the bumper height.. it still looks like a monster truck.| Ejaz | '98 Protegé | '02 Protegé5 |

Yeah, that bothered me too. It's worse with the JDM bumper. I really need a front lip and some side skirts.
If you're as low as you say you are though, you can't go much lower in the rear without rubbing. Even with very modest offsets, I was rubbing in the rear at a bit less than this height.

That's not possible, you're underestimating how much room you have, and overestimating how low you are.

I guess my old car was lower than I thought in the rear. I had rub marks in the inner well, a few inches inboard where the undercoating was worn off down to bare shiny metal by my 205/50-15s, and I rubbed a lot, even without passengers.
With the lower offset 16s, 1 passenger in the front was enough to increase rubbing to nearly constant.

lowering???
