Ground clearance on lowered IX
So I've been going back and forth on whether or not I want to get coilovers and lower my car.
I'm currently on MR bilsteins/Swift Rs
The ride is nice, however, I'm actually used to a much more stiff ride and less body roll, since that's the way I've had my previous cars set up.
If I do go with coilovers, I'd probably go another 1.5-2 inches lower. Nothing crazy. But, hows ground clearance. Do those of you with coilovers scrape the downpipe, exhaust, etc. ??? How's daily driving?

If I do go w/ coilovers, then I'll be picking up the RCK.

But you probably can't do that on the cheap stuff.

After really looking at my car, I'm thinking more like a half inch lower. An inch at the most.
Like I said, I don't want to be dumped. Just a little lower.
The Blsteins/Swift R set up on my car is nice, and I like it. Hell, if I don't do coilovers I will look into rebuilding/revalving the Bilsteins.
I'm keeping the MR lip and BBS wheels w/ 245/40/17 tires. I run 245/45/17 tires on IX wheels in the winter.
Btw, those SSR wheels look awesome!
