if it were me, i'd raise the back up to match the front height. i absolutely despise having to worry about scraping.

It depends on where you live, i've got about 1" to 1 1/8" from thr top of the tire to the wheelwell, it looks great, and i dont have to worry about curbs, plowing snow, or bottoming out when i load the car up.

Exactly. I realize, after having my suspension installed for 6 months or so, that I can't take scraping anymore. It's gotten worse recently, and today I was seriously considering posting a TRADE MY KONIs for STOCK SPORT+CASH thread. It looks great the way it is, but scraping is a fvcking bastard. It isn't worth it.
