You hit the nail on the head here. We both have extremely high standards for the things we put on our vehicles, but we both only have two out of three things in common as far as the ultimate "goal" is concerned. Rules of my neighborhood dicatate that I only have "two" cars per household, and unless Kim walks to work, the Crossfire is my daily. Therefore, I can justify the occasional mod, but to go *****-to-the-wall on a vehicle that racks up a minimum of 75 miles a day, is simply not fiscally smart in my book. If my circumstances were different, the focus of my car would be as well.
Back to tech talk, I really would like to see the weights of the rears, with tires. Also, a 275/35/20 is a bit taller than the OEM, right? From a fit perspective, I hope you don't run into issues during articulation because mine rub occasionally, and my tires are marginally shorter than the OEM (only by .2" overall, but still...). I know you said you intend to drop it... which is definitely recommended from an aesthetic standpoint as well as a cornering standpoint. It's the best single mod I ever did to the car...
