but the streets of san Francisco are really f00ked up.....so bad that even my out of town friends ask me about it. (i/e i need some clearance)

You could get a set of H&R coil-overs and adjust as you see fit they have up to a 2.5 in drop ($1105). You could also get KW coil-overs for up to a 3.1 inch drop ($1355-1899 depending on variant).

I have KW Variant 3s. My car is lowered about 2.5 inches. I am not rubbing and I do not have problems with scraping or bottoming out. The roads in Indiana are not very good either.

I am contemplating going lower.

thanks Alaskablue i've only bottomed out once, and that was going over a speed bump in a supermarket parking lot with 4 people in the car. but with all the talk of budget $ around here and lack of it, it looks like it'll be awhile until roads r fixed priorities FFS!
