I did it to my 99 ecplise GST back in the day. It was so low that I could not fit a tennis ball under. I hit every single speed bump, scraped up my car all the time. I had to buy a camber kit just so that it wouldnt eat the tires like mad! I had it in the shop every other month having adjusted because it would not hold. I am not touching my nismo, to me its low enough. I have a hard time getting in and out of places already even when taking it at an angle...
+1........ I am in the same boat as you big guy. Yeah having it lowered a bit would be a little bit cleaner looking, but at what price (pain in the a** getting in/out of places).

Well, on my old Eclipse it was very necessary, it had a huge gap between the wheels and the body. Maybe I should of gotten bigger rims and tires. But on this car, to me, it looks just fine! I just washed it today and noticed I have already scraped up the bottom of the front fender.

Hmmm...... It is the black plastic (skid pad) under the car that gets scraped. I'm not too worried about that, but if it happens all the time I would be pissed. It is there to help protect your vehicle & paint. I would rather have that scraped up, then the actual bump or fender.
