UPDATE (finally)

Got Teins, Whiteline Front and Rear Sways, LCA bushes and Fujitsubo LegaliseR exhaust fitted. I also fitted the 18" Ggames.

I ended up not getting it super low as the ride is so nice as its currently setup, If I get bored its going on the ground but I kinda love teh fact that it handles like a freak and is still comfortable

Pics up this weekend.

OK

Car is dirty and wanted to detail it before posting but now I find myself in a bit of a boggle.

Car handles and drives beautifully but I am thinking - I bought teins, I want this thing lower - suspension guys are saying I can lower another 15mm and it should still ride alright. I think it needs to be a bit lower. Thoughts.

I have upped the brightness in the photo to make it easier to see

OPINIONS PLEASE - LOWER MORE OR LEAVE IT AND ENJOY THE NEAR STANDARD RIDE QUALITY.

EDIT - IF ITS NOT OBVIOUS - YOU CAN'T FIT A FINGER IN THE REAR GUARD SO ITS ESSENTIALLY ON THE TYRE IN THE REAR AND CAN FIT 1 FINGER UNDER THE FRONT.

Leave it! If I could get my wagon looking like that I'd be happy...

On a side note and I know it's too late now, but 19"s would make it look a bit lower as theres less rubber but in saying that, its a nice looking ride...

Yeh 19s were my preference and had a set of muse ready to go but wanted Jap wheels and these came up for sale, also compare tyre prices for 18 versus 19 for anything decent its scary.

It's just right now.

Any lower and it will be low for the sake of being low with no benefits.

Should have started a poll for this topic.

Looks good at that height, keep the ride quality.
If you are leaning towards lowering it check your clearance at the areas you frequent, it’s a pain when you need to slow down and angle it to get into a driveway, car park or over a speed bump.
