Is my car low enough? Please VOTE!!
Ok, I've been beating my head agaist the wall deciding what to do and now I'm asking for help.
I wanted to lower my car but I didn't want it really low, but just a nice subtle drop. I didn't want to get coilovers because I wanted a smoother ride that progressive springs give verses the higher rate linear springs. So I bought Neuspeed SofSports.
After getting them on, I was dissapointed to see they didn't lower the car as much as I thought they would. I don't know if I should get some Newspeed Sports or an Eibach Pro Kit or what!
I can't decide, I need some input! Suggestions, opinions, anything. If anybody has pics of their cars with a Pro Kit or Sports please post them!! I need something else to look and and compare to.
Thanks!
My photo isn't working, here's the link to it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Handling is what you shold be worried about, but cosmetically it looks good!!!
No tuck or anything but it still looks good!!!!

Looks nice how it is now...
Hey how does it ride with the Neuspeed springs? I was thinking of getting Koni Coil overs and Eibach springs but i mite just get new shocks and eibach springs...I don't see much of a need for coil overs but anyways
Nice ride!

your ride height looks perfect. do you have aftermarket dampers yet? if not, you could get some koni yellows, which have adjustable perches that could give you 20mm of extra lowering by setting the perch on the lowest level. just a thought.

i think it looks low enough. If you get a bodykit for it you will still have some room between you and the ground. I have an SI that is lowered about 1.5 with a bodykit and i am damn close to scraping (but it looks good so who cares...right) here is a link to look at it.

im running Comptech springs on my coupe, I get about 1 finger of gap in the rear and 2 fingers on the frount because i had to roll the finders. The ride is fine and the drop is just enough. 1.5" which is also what Pro-kit will do.
if you can return them and get a refund or exchange id say go for it, but if not don't worrie about it.

drop it till your cat scrapes while driving... that's the chit yo!!! Leave it alone!!! As long as your springs are stiff and you don't get tons of body roll, then she's good. I usually keep about 1" around on my car...
