Wheel gap
All these threads about lowering to reduce wheel gap.
This leads to sub-optimum spring/dampener ratios, pogoing, premature shock wear, harsher ride charateristics.
If the reason to drop is for looks (and maybe 90% are dropped for looks), wouldn't it be better to simply have a better looking aftermarket fender skirt - one that reduces the wheel/tire gap?

pogoing? nope... none whatsoever here. harsher ride? adjustable dampers. premature shock wear? bilsteins for the win
a better looking aftermarket fender skirt? uhhhh... sounds ugly :shrug:
Uh, so that would be wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. Totally agree with glnr13. It's all in the execution.

handling is over-rated 
For all seriousness though....mine is low enough that the front bumper is basically on the ground and it still rides very comfortably. I wouldn't win any track races....but i couldn't care less about that.
