How do you like it? Raised or Lowered?

stock just right for the j-gtx front bumper

I lifted my car and then lowered it.
With the uncut aspire springs I found it made for a really crappy front end. There was visible (read as: ugly) positive camber, and a lot of undue stress on all the components. Took half an hour to get the sway bar to go in. I also didn't like the road feel at all with the lift. And you could totally feel that high center of gravity.
Chopped the springs a bit and it's a happy, happy car now. Just below stock height.

This is what I'm dealing with right now! Fortunately I've got coilovers sitting in my garage for when I get home from school in December.
