That height looks great! It's not too low and not too high. It's just perfect for smaller wheels.

I had air suspension as my car is a UL, now I have OEM sport shocks and Tanabes. Ride is firmer but not jarring with solid feel, feels nice and tight especially in turns.

Thanks Kira

I have 18" rims. I agree, the hight my car is at now is perfecto - just right for my wheel size.
