ok not sure what your asking here, but the Tanabes drop your car 1.5" dont you think thats low enough? MY car is only 3.5 " off the ground with these Tanabes and I run my AGX's stiff. If I didnt do that I would be hitting bottom constantly.
I wouldnt drop it anymore if your smart.

Same setup and I have to watch everywhere I go to keep from knocking the front lip or exhaust off.

if you really care about the look as opposed to the performance, why didn't you get the tanabe's that are meant for dropping? I think it was called Drop Feeling or something like that.
