Jeez, it must be like a punch to the gut every time you go over a bump 
um, probably about 5-4 inch's from stock. im tucking a full two inch's of stock tire. (ask anyone at the mazda meet today in chicago)
and actually, it ride's great. im not on blown stock struts. there a full coil over set up with upgraded racing beat sway bar's and endlinks. my fiance litterally drives it more then i do, and she doesnt even complain. and if she did, id have to put it back to stock. lol.
keep in mind im 28. im not a 17 y.o with a honda that could handle a bumpy bad ride.

I don't understand how that's possible. It literally has like 2 inches of wheel travel, so how could it be smooth? I'm just curious, because I was thinking about lowering mine too. And how do the front wheels turn when they are tucked in? Do they rub?

its been lowered over two years exactly how you see it. and have never rubbed, or rolled the fenders. the really crappy backspacing of the OEM rims allows you to get away with alot. once i upgrade wheels. i will have to raise it up for sure. all im doing is taking advantage of the stock rims at this point and there bad design. lol.
the rims im probably getting are a 45 offset, and an 18. so once i order them, ill be rolling the fenders before even attempting to put them on. im hoping i can keep the drop as close to it is now on the larger rims.
m6racer on M6C.com is a local to me, and is on the same coilovers, with pretty much the same drop, and also doesnt have any issues. and hes on 18's, but has rolled his fenders. i actually have pic's i took of our cars side by side yesterday at a local mazda meet. i dont think there are really any other members sitting like us though. most dont go so extreme. keep im mind my car isnt a daily driver also. its stored alot more then driven. and has never seen any snow of any type. he actually drives his car year round. i think my car would just be a qiant snow plow! lol.

Thanks for all of the great info! Your car looks amazing too! Kentucky roads would make quick work of that front lip though.

actually chicago was voted worst streets last spring for potholes.
just dont speed, and know the roads you drive on. i have to stay off alpine rd, one of the biggest roads in town just because of how bad it is. lol. the constant freezing, and thawing DISTROYED our roads this year. it was down right scary driving the 6 for awhile.
here's a pic from yesterdays meet. im about 1/2 inch lower then m6racer's car, and he's on 18's obviousely. he obviousely rolled his fenders, which i know ill be doing once i get the new rim's.

i have a 2.3. with not even a cone filter! lol. so i have no reason too. lol. its all suspension work.
for going fast, i have my 626gt touring, with a JDM fully built turbo FE-DOHC, on standalone, lsd, the whole shibang. also a turbo probe gt. those are my two toy's for going fast in a line, 6 is for corners, and just looking good. then i have a beater 92 ford explorer, and a 89 probe lx. and of course a turbo dodge colt GTS hatchback. but thats so far from being done, its really not even worth mentioning yet. lol
