I think your ride height in that pic is perfect.

So you gauge suspension quality/worthiness on how low it can take the car? C'mon, lets be real here. You can slam a honda on almost anything. Remove spring perches, flip threaded collar, cut springs etc.

I FORGOT TO ADD A COUPLE OF THESE
BUT HONESTLY I MADE THAT COMMENT BECAUSE PEOPLE OPT. TO GET COILOVERS BECAUSE YOU CAN ACHIEVE A LOWER RIDE HEIGHT THEN WITH SPRINGS.
IF THEY COILOVERS HE IS USING ONLY GO THAT LOW YOU WOULD HAVE BETTER OFF JUST GETTING A NICE SPRING/SHOCK COMBO...IF THAT THE HEIGHT IS IS TRYING TO STAY @
LOOKS LIKE A 1.5-1.75 DROP FROM THE PICTURE
dont forget if u go super slammed and u dont want the car to be bouncy, that means u want a soft setup,if yer low and u got a soft setup, yer gonna be bottoming out everywhere, not fun. I had my car pretty much as low as your car in that pic but i was on 14s, i had shitty coilovers, rode nice, but needless to say, oil pan, header, and tranny casing got phucked
I actually don't agree with driving low for the reasons stated above
if you can then thats cool but some motor setups just don't allow it.
I'm more of a ride moderately low, person myself. Drive around moderately low on a daily but then slam it for say picture or a meet or show.
Some may say its poser style but who the hell slams their car for performance reasons other then Nascar.
It just for looks and it looks good sometimes

Its funny how after something is posted on japolnik it spreads across the internet like wildfire. There are posts in nearly every forum that i have seen about this vid.

You can super dump without bottoming. You just need to run like 800-1000lb spring rates.

Not to mention cracked Mugen bumpers. My good friend bought a Spoon lip for his EG it was like 500+ brand new from spoon. First week cracked it all to hell.
