Also has anyone lowered their car with mud flaps and do they scrape or hit the ground?

Default how much do you want to spend??? I just put on UUCs lowering springs
that lowered 1 inch around and are designed to use over stock shocks. No camber adjustments or anything. ride is still comfortable and body roll in turns is significantly reduced.

Default I was looking at those as as a possible option. What do you think of them? How is the ride and
handling?

Also how much was it to install them or did you do it yourself?

Lower stance and less roll on hard turns.

Default Dougs pretty happy with his UUC springs, maybe you should give those a try..
Coilovers would probably be overkill..
