I say leave it. Mine is about the same height, perhaps a little lower and I experience NO rubbing on 225/45/17s... Just angle your car in and out of driveways... It's cake...

I have no rubbing... it's just that i can't get up most drive way :/

razorlab- do you have a rhino ramp? if so can you get up on that? do you have any trouble going up ramps, etc?

BTW i did angle up, maybe my cousin driveway too steep

nope, i just use a jack. My jack *barely* fits under the front, if i was any lower I would have to drive the wheels up on wood to raise the front.

nope, no problem going up driveways, but remember it looks like my car is about 1/2 inch higher than yours.

I had to make sure I had decent clearance, my driveway is a huge *** hill!

If I remember correctly it was about $200 for 4-wheel alignment and corner-weighting, I think $90 for the corner-weighting and coilover adjustment and $110 for the alignment.

If I just need an alignment I go to Jack at Motorsport Techniques in Hayward, the alignments are cheaper there and Jack does great work and is a super nice guy.

here are some more photos to gauge my ride height:
