Also, it doesnt help that I live in NYC.

^ I'm with this dude. The main reason for getting adjustable coil-overs was so I'd have performance all while I wouldn't have to worry about getting around town.
My tC isn't low (around 1.5 drop), and even still I need to watch for opening the door onto curbs.

Anywho, slamming the car to the ground is more pain to drive than it is fun. Not just speed-bumps and U-turns, but the slightest elevation change in ground levels = a painful experience (i.e. potholes, construction, etc..). My past ride was so low at one point a coke can (lying flat) would get stuck on my front bumper.
