so the really question is about lowering .......and the best way to do it.
Idid lower my front end w/ spring compressors and believe there was a small gain in mpg.
The was a popular mechanics article a while back the showed that a lowered front might reduce drag.
The draw back was that I did not align the front end and ended up cupping my tires.

My understanding (from a thread here - somewhere-) is that there is an optimal angle. I felt that with my existing slanted nose and IMPUL body kit, that i was able to achieve a desired result.
