Default Just lowered on Megan EZ coilovers.. wutcha think?

The ride is actually really good. I'm running 235/30/20 fr and 275/30/20 rr. Before I had a 2 finger gap. Now I have it right on top of tire. It should settle more(I hope). I noticed the fronts are a bit higher too. You folks think I should lower the front or raise the rear?

No rubbing in the back... Even with 2 kids back there. Or I can wait for the front to settle and raise the rear to have same as is in pic.

I'll have more pix when the sun is available. To my surprise, this rides really well with plenty of room to lower.

My rears are shaved and the fronts are rolled. I hope I'm fine with my tire setup.
