Marginally too low in the front for my taste, but this looks 100x better than stock.

I agree, looks way better than stock but too low for my taste. there is an IS running around our home town on coils and she has her car as low as it will go. it looks good, but she scrapes everything.

with that said, if it isn't a daily driver, I might be ok with it...hell, my wife's isn't lowered at all and I am super careful when I drive it.

I'm actually looking into raising it a bit more in the front cause it is a bit low. But I'm waiting for the shocks to adjust so that I can set it. So i'm giving it a few days. It is my daily but work is right down the street and so is my gym lol so it's no bother for me. Plus I had a car before that was lower than this so im used to it.

If you are going to keep the stock rims, you might look at the spacers. They really make it more aggressive unless you like the tucked wheel look.

Surprisingly after I set the damper to where I wanted it. The ride has been amazing almost close to stock I would say not completely but it still rides smooth. it's not as bouncy as I thought it would be to be honest. It's all about slowly adjusting to the height that you set it. All my cars I use to drive very low so I'm used to driving very low. I love the way it looks and feel so far. Later on there will be room for wheels because this is still my daily and I don't want nothing to wear out on me haha

Looks way better than stock but I agree with others that it may be too low in the front, by that I only feel it doesn't look even with the rear. I don't think this is considered too low if you are considering bags anyway and also cars usually look better the lower they are. That said, there's a level of cautious driving that comes with this mod depending on where you are located and plan to daily drive. Anyways....you may want to check that the drop is even all around. Good luck!
