you are talking 1/20th of an inch in the rear and 3/20th of an inch in front

you really think you will notice? BTW...the advertised drops aren't too accurate...there are factors such as quality control that what shocks you run that come into play. Also, they never specify if the drop is from sport package height or non sport package height.

Have a good shop do the work, and lower the front slightly more than the back (more than 1/10" diff)

Well, I have the full drop, and it can be a problem at times.
