Greg, That is the flavour of the conventional wisdom that I heard. It runs like: At one point, the U.S. was in the process of installing a bumper height regulation, which forced the manufacturers to raise the nose of the car by either 1.5" or 2" (I can't remember which now) because they didn't want to delay shipment any longer. I certainly remember looking at the cars and thinking "Isn't the nose a little high?" When compared with cars which have had the front lowered 1.5" to 2" it certainly looks like they didn't intend it to be that tall. Also, the lowered look matches the prototype and publicity shots that I have seen in various places, like the postcard I saw on Tamir's and a few other sites. But the most important reason in my humble opinion is that, at least according to most I have talked to, lowering the front improves performance. What, if anything, does it say in the workshop manual? I haven't bought mine yet.
