Exactly... We'll see, Tevi. I have plenty of time before I need to make the call on this anyway. I really do enjoy driving without having to stress/worry too much. If I go any lower, it will not be significant, if even noticeable at all.

Ya WPP. I'm in ct and I'm at 25 7/8. ONLY place I rubbed once was in my work parking garage when I went over one floor joint too fast.

You could easily go down to 26....probably 25 1/2 if you were careful.

Actually with the proper suspension upgrades (which some of us have) I'm willing to say that the lower you go, you will loose practicality but not driveability. Yes you won't be able to make it up certain parking ramps or over giant speed bumps (ie. practicality), but you'll still be able to shred it around your favorite canyon/twisty road or track if that's what you enjoy (ie. driveabilty)

I totally respect where you stand on this. It's all about what you feel comfortable with and as i said, it took me a while to take the plunge myself. With that said, I'll be on the lookout for that potential .0001 drop

It's the distance between the apex of your fender and the ground.

Looking good soolman. Its amazing how a little adjustment like that can make a huge difference. . I am at around 25 1/2 in front which is just perfect for my tire size set up.

I'd have to agree with you there and thanks for the compliment. Did you ever post up more detailed shots of your 10.5 square set up? curious to see how the front sits with +22. You can PM me or post them here.

My bumper sits just a bit lower than the stock bumper. Plus, I am running bigger tires than Tevi, too, which plays into it. I am definitely considering going a little lower, but I will never "dump" my car. I enjoy driving it too much to have to worry about every little crack or dip in the road. As it is, there are certain spots in certain roads/highways where I have to take into account odd peculiarities. I'm sure you know what I mean, as you drive in New England, as well.
