exactly what are you trying to find out from your question? General opinion on looks? Installed correctly or not? Good for the track? Scrape too much on the street? etc?

Looks good, probably installed correctly, far too low for track duty, and will probably scrape a decent bit on the streets depending on where you live, the rear needs more low.

When I look at it…seems too low. Just wanted to get some perspective opinions

I think I will install Dinan Springs in the front and ZCP Springs in the back. It might be the perfect height. Dinan all around makes the car look like a Pre Runner.

Way too low. These cars already come from factory with limited bump travel. You're just riding around on the bump stops which increase spring rate exponentially.

Too low, as said above, you are riding on bump stops.

Don’t be a pussy! jk dude, do whatever makes your car eyes happy! I ain’t gonna lie you will fuck shit up if you go to the track or rough roads at speed with that. There is very little travel in our suspension as it is. When as low as mine, shit sucks. I have adjustable coil overs so I show a lil tread when I go to the track (raise it until you see at least the top of the outside bar on your tread). I think in my experience at least a pinky should slip between the tire and fender (pinky parallel to the ground, not at an angle). I still heard some rub on compression at speed. I do love a sexy low sports car though!
