cant agree with you more, my friend with a civic keeps saying "dude, I saw some lowering springs for your contour on ebay, it would look sooo tight.." 
"yes, it would look cool lowered, but I also dont want to spend 500$+ on struts that can handle the springs"

all facts aside... I cant lower, living in the state of michigan, and the fact that this is my daily driver, snow would easily get the best of me... and thats not something in my budget.
