Default Lowering my car

OK, I've spent all my project money on new wheels so I won't be re-doing the suspension anytime soon. Which is good, in a way, because it'll let me figure out what I want to do.

I do, hower, want to lower the car. I'm measuring 26.5" at the front fender with 3/4 tank of gas. People make comments about my Cayenne-like ride height. One guy commented on how clean my wheel wells were - he noticed because there was some much room to see them above the tires.

I was thinking about going to the equivalent of 24.75/25.25. There will probably need to be some fender rolling to get the front tires in. How big of a pain is this going to be? Do I need to reindex the t-bars? Is it resonable to assume I can roll the fenders w/o cracking the paint?

Any recommendations? Will I need a new alignment? BTW: There is free food, drink and a nice mini fun-run through rural Maryland for anyone available to help. My goal is to do this before the HPDC on 10/11.
