    Just the center of the decking so it slants up on the left and right side or lowering the entire width of the deck? If just the center I think 2 inches is all that is allowed per the lolms. Alot of newer cars are lower in general from the front to middle part of the decking and then another 2 inches in the middle. Then it gives the rear decking alot more angle from the middle to the back.

        im in the process of doing it now. i lowered it 2 1/4" behind the seat and went as low as i could on the front before i got too close to the distributor which ended up being about 1 1/2. it doesnt sound like much but its definitely noticeable. Its a pretty big job if you decide to. I had to move battery, lead, brake lines, fuel lines, msd, coil etc
