OK, ITS LIKE THIS... YOU'VE GOTTA 6PLUS INCH GROUND CLEARANCE(WITH AP1 KIT), WITHOUT CLOSER TO 7.

HOW MUCH... DARE YOU SHAVE OFF AND HOW? WOULD YOU, WOULDN'T YOU? YNOT?
WILL IT... TAKE CORNERS EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE?
WILL IT... SCRAPE OVER EVERY SPEED-BUMP IN TOWN?
OR WILL IT... WILL IT.... WILL IT PUT-OUT... BETTER.... GAS MILEAGE?

OR WHUT, WHAT!?

i would be worried about scraping if i lost 2 inchs of clearance. maybe if the shocks were stiff enough to minimize travel, but then that would sacrifice the everyday drivability.
