Personally, I think it's 2" too low in front, and 1" too low in back. I wouldn't be able to get out of Taco Bell in that car.
But then, I've never been a fan of the dumped look. I prefer a more functional ride height. My car's lowered 2.5", I scrape everywhere, and people on h-t tell me I need to lower it more. No thanks.
I'll admit though, I kinda like your car for some reason.

Anyway, you have a pretty clean look going OP.
Thats... unfortunate. Update when you swap that stuff out for the real deal. THEN we will see how good she looks!

Re: *finally slammed*
i've seen lower "ek"s... like fender down to the rim on 15's low... i personally think slammed is over rated. i want to enjoy driving the car, not get a work out avoiding all the pot holes, bumps, etc. but it's what you like so don't stress over what i said. looks good for what it is, although i'd pull the hub caps off, and hit the steelies with some gloss black if you don't have other rims to rock.

and I'm only lowered 2" in the front on me. Whenever I see or here slammed, I think of some dumbass taking an O2 torch and melting the coils. Ughhh. I hate slammed personally. I build to drive DD.

Re: *finally slammed*
What people commonly think is a suspension "settling" is actually the bushings tearing/ripping as they deform to their new static height.
If the bushings were correctly clocked (as specified in the service manual) there will be no settling, and the bushings won't be doomed to a short life.
So if you installed things correctly, it won't get any lower over time.
