Does anyone have plans on lowering their CRZ? How many inches would you lower it?

Do you like low cars or stock car height better?

Probably an inch / inch and a half, a nice clean drop

All depends on the wheel gap. Latest photos seem like the car is low enough. Already has a nice aggressive stance.

adjustable coil overs are the best

I imagine it will have struts like the Prius so cutting a coil out with a saw would work on that

Or if you want the Puerto Rican bouncy car you could cut the coil with a blowtorch

Drop it as much as I can, the lower the better for me

I would keep mine stock height. It's such a hassle to raise and lower it every winter here if I drive it year round. I don't like grading the snow on the roads in the winter with my front bumper.

depends on the wheel/tires size i'm thinking just enough to get just enough tuck all the way around will be very clean

Lowering is a bad idea. Sorry if you disagree but that's my opinion, after lowering a Civic and a WRX.

I agree with BlueTwo and ArchRival; If you want it to ride smooth and handle, keep it stock.. You wanna look cool; drop it 1 to 2 inches. What's important to you?

That's BS... Lowering a car isn't just for looks, and if properly aligned it will give you better handling properties versus stock height...

You will lose a bit of comfort but the handling "can" improve drastically over stock height...
