I cant argue with that. Of course the one less slammed is going to handle better. I plan on doing autoX this year and getting 17x8 and running a 225 and raising the car a little for that exact reason. It will handle way better then on my 18x10 on 225's slammed to the ground. I was just saying that slamming a car doesn't make it less of a performance car. Will you get full potential out of it.. Definitely not. My car is slow, but the way it handles right now, slammed, is better then it handled stock thats for sure. lol

I wanted to do this on my gf's WRX. She said no. 
I can contest this, but I know you don't care.

If you want stance you might as well bag it as for driving around town with a static suspension with the car slammed to the ground sucks *** due it it being so impractical. Plus then you could really lay frame if you wanted to. Lol
However if you wanted to do a moderate drop while still having good road feel just get a good strut/spring combo. There are tons of threads about this already. Do your research and find what you like the best.

I would say it all depends what you want out of your drop. Do you want looks? Or functionality? If looks is what you want, throw some 18x9.5/10's, roll your fenders get some camber and slam that bad boy. If you want to be functional I'd get some good tires and a proper suspension allignment (corner balanced and all). the look of a functional drop is a lot different than "flush" look. Both are unique though and I'm sure you'll like it. Good luck!
2 inches would be nice I definitly don't want to bother being hellaflush lol too impractical In my books.
