not pulling too far forward.

I'm looking at coilovers in the future as well as the DMC Side Splitters. In preperation I've began taking note where my front bumper ends up when parking and it hasn't been pretty so far.

Default yup. i have pulled in too close a few times...especially on angled parking, where

you don't realize how close you are on the passenger corner...but like Hans says, it only takes one boo-boo to teach you to pull in too far. the TT isn't too long, so you can pull in far enough so the rear doesn't stick out.

Default I've had coilovers since 2002 >>

you just have to become more aware of the dimensions of your car... roll over a curb or parking block once and you learn (don't ask me how!)

Default The reason I have not lowered mine........

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/105167/bluechip_movie_car.jpg"></center><p>I would have demolished my front spoiler more than once. I know, I know it looks a lot better lowered but I think a beat up spoiler would look a lot worse. I have no problem at the stock height and I like it that way.
