Nice drop, I say about a 1.7 in the front and about 1.5 in the rear? If you feel you want to drop the car more. Go on ahead, but be aware of pot holes, speed bumps and other imprefecations on the road. If you have a aftermarket 4-1 header, I would watch out for the header. The lower the car the more likely you will dent your header. 4-1 header's sits lower.

If you say that you dont really want to lower it any more...dont. This is your car. You wouldnt jumo off a bridge if the people on HT told you to, would you? Personally, I like it just the way it is.

I wouldn't lower it more. Take a look at the car with passengers in it... then you'll know what I mean.

Looks good the way it is now. Any lower and you'll most likely scrape with 3+ people in the car.

And on a different note, I wish my parents could have such a nice car.

Beeeeeeee-autiful
The rims are very nice, I say they fill out the wheel arches nicely enough that you don't need any further drop. What are those rims btw?

looks good the way it is, i'd say keep it like that. that's the beauty of coilover's though, drop it and see what you think.

HEY GUYS, thanks for your opinions, I appreciate it! I do want to lower it "JUST a BIT" and get a nicer stance on the visual side...but comfort side, my 2 year old might start hopping and bopping with the crappy 880 freeway here in the BAY AREA!

The rims are 17" WORK VS-XX 3 piece rims (5x114)

I like them but looking for a set of 16" Work Rs beta 3-pieces

keep the comments coming!

come to my JDM Gathering! See my SIG!

Nice car, but with crappy Bay Area roads, you probably don't want to go any lower.

No one has mentioned it yet, but I'd highly recommend that you remove that license plate on the front dash. Not only is it not legal, but is also a potential hazard. If you were to get in an accident, you don't want that plate hitting someone in your car, especially your 2 children.
