I know that a few of you had asked me about the stance of the car since I installed the Control Freak IFS and Triangulated four link. Overall I am rather pleased with the stance but considering dropping it another half inch to an inch. What are your guys thoughts? I am changing out the rims to 17's or 18's so that will also change the look considerably. Oh, and yes I did select this picture because it reminded me of a T/A finish Javelin in 1st with the Camaro and Mustang falling in 2nd and 3rd :)

I always say lower is better.  You can always raise it back up some too with the CF system.

Yeah sort of what I am feeling about it to. I think the one more inch would make a substantial difference and as you mentioned, I have full adjustability to go lower I just need to maybe make a skid plate for the oil pan before I get too crazy as I would hate tear a hole in it.

With the setting you have, looks a wee more level and lower than stock.

With the reply lower is better... 1 inch more all around. See how it does for you. Though your track time will benefit more as well.
