Default I wanna go lower but keep flaps

Hi all i wanna go way lower with me EA but the mudflaps have to go in order for me to do this. What do you reckon. It only has 15 inch wheels. Keep the ride height and retain mudflaps or lose them and dump it. Thanks for all GENUINE replies. Please dont ask for pics as a refusal often offends. lol.

pics could help to see what its at now. and photo shop could help to see the difference.
mine is stock height and still doesnt have front flaps :P
partially due to one disappearing and me removing the other to even it out.

i guess it kind of depends how worried you are about getting pulled up by the cops

So your question is.... should I lower my car or not?

If you want to go lower its your choice, I dont see why you would need approval from people you dont know for somthing you can figure out your self.

What about lowering it, and trimming the mudflaps as well so they don't scrape. The flaps are the best looking part of any EA - you wouldn't want to lose them, would you?

Not sure if this is Genuine, but there you go. It's posted anyway!

Really? That's not a very nice thing to say in the E-series forum.
