Re: lowering legality
There are bumper height laws, other than that I don't think any of the inspectors care too much. You'll pass inspection fine, only an inch drop is barely noticeable on most cars..

Re: lowering legality
i dropped my car a good 2" after the springs set and when i went to get inspected they gave me more crap about my factory hood scoop being too big than they did about ride height. You have nothing to worry about.
