Thanks a lot Sleeper for info, That's what I want to do 1 finger-gap all around, cuz don't want to go lower than that specially this is my everyday car. I will defiantly look into coilovers w/ adjustable damping, cuz I don't want to loose comfort of the car.

I think in the pictures tinted tail lights are darker, because I when you see it in real it's lighter.

That's your best bet. Lowering even just an inch or two will add to the aesthetic look tremendously.

I also don't have problems going up/down most driveways and over speedbumps. If you get coilovers with adjustable damping, you cannot always adjust it to softer or firmer to suit your ride quality tastes. There are many brands out in the market right now that are reasonably priced that will deliver what you're looking for.
I do plan going for Teins CS V2. Does your car bottoms out when going over speed bumps without stopping? What is your stiffness setting for your daily driving? Thanks.

Yea after you gave me that comment having 1 finger-gap all around I have been thinking about it, just wondering if you don't mind to tell me how much did it cost yours?
