Now that I have 18" RX-8 wheels and 225/40 tires on, I'm wondering if I should lower it. The gap in the front looks larger than the gap in the back. Obviously all around coil-overs is awesome, but I don't have the $ for that. What do y'all think of lowering springs?
Should I lower it?

I have CorkSport lowering springs on OEM dampers on my CX-9. They would have been perfectly fine if I didn't have to deal with all the potholes and road imperfections. After 2-3 years of hitting potholes a few times a year, I had to replace both front shocks, but the rears are still good.

Back in 2011 I considered putting H&R lowering springs on my 2009 Mazda5 Touring. That was after replacing the rear sway bar with a thick one from Cobb Tuning, which substantially reduced the bodyroll. In your case, is it mainly for the looks? And how much drop do the coilovers give?
I had coilovers on my MINI for a few months and hated all the scraping.
