I say slam it, but make sure you hook up the camber kits and get an alignment.:thumbsup

i have the blues too. they're pretty nice, but definately a little on the "almost too firm" side. maybe it's the eibach sportlines, i don't really know.
i think the sportlines drop the car about 1.6" in both the front and the rear. a little too much IMO, i should have probably gotten the prokits (1.3" drop from what i hear). if you have a stock body, and you're careful how you approach speed bumps/really bad driveways/insane inclines you'll be ok. back in the day i used to have the blitz front bumper, and it didn't take very long to get pretty messed up.

Drop it, I put on my sprint kit in November and have no problems. I live in upper NY state and we do get a heck of alot of snow. Nothing like the feeling of seein your ride on a 2" drop for the first time. :thumbsup

The biggest thing i would worry about is the CAI. I was lowered in the winter(see sig). My AEM filter would turn into a block of ice. Had to run it as a short ram in the winter. That was easy for me since i had the bypass valve.
