like everyone said, even w/ a mild drop you'll have to be careful w/ the roads, driveways, etc. i hate subterranean parking b/c my car always scrapes; think ypipe and midpipe area. you'll also have to drive slow around town looking carefully at the road ahead. people behind you will get pissed but oh well! haha gl
Yeah bro it sucks and every time it snows they throw salt on the roads and there goes another thousand potholes to avoid. I couldnt see them and i busted all four of my rims each one cracked now imagine if my car was lowered? Luckily i rarely go downtown.

if it's not your dd, slam it for sure. if it's your dd, you may want to consider all the inconveniences you'll experience and think about whether or not it's worth it to you

OP I'm in the same predicament as you, although I'm not considering going slammed. I have 350z H-Tech springs and getting Impul sides and Kuruma Z front bumper put on. It's going to make my car lower than anything I've ever owned before and I'm simultaneously excited and terrified.

My car is a daily driver in that it's my only car, but I live within walking distance of school so I basically just drive it two or three times a week when the weather is nice or when I need to go to the store, etc.

Best of luck with your decision. I personally would not slam your car if it's your daily driver and you have to use it day in day out for work, etc.

I wouldn't slam it. I had mine slammed for a while and man it was a fvckin PITA. Get some coilovers and go with a moderate drop, and you'll be fine. Look at my pictures, I don't scrape or hit anything (and roads in Vegas are TERRIBLE) and it looks great.

OP, im originally from chicago and this winter when i was visiting and couldnt imagine if i had my G, and im pretty low eibach pro kit gets you pretty low but i wouldnt quite say its slammed. still driving a lowered car takes a lot of patience esp. when u drive thru one of those parkin lots with a speed bump every 10 feet.
