I am know nothing about lowering.
But after installing the BC Racing + Swift (14/10), I noticed the stock BC Racing was lowered than stock. I really like how it looks.
Now, I am considering lowering.
If you see the attached pictures.. The rear seems like 1/2 - 1 inch lower than the front. I am considering lower the front to the same high as the rear.
How lower can I go that's safe.. no headache.. little performance decrease? Is there an advantage for the rear to be lower than the front or vice versa.. any advice is helpful.

agreed....
But ride height wise... I normally lower all my cars to show no gap, it still has room if you hit a pot hole or rock or dead body.... Then depending on the suspension brand I would make it that the dampening is to the hardest, so less roll... Thats how my wife's is350 she has tein SS, now as for my ISF I know its hard enough stock, but I still like to lower the front to get rid of the gap.
Waiting for my other set of Teins... (don't judge your not god)

i used to have tein coilover on my eclipse long time ago and i loved it. but seems like mostly everyone here uses swift. i agree on not judging, coz its really whatever you prefer over other peoples opinion.

Using damping to control roll is just about the very last thing you want to do from a mechanical performance perspective. If you need roll control, you need more spring rate first, more swaybar second, and almost never more compression damping.
