Thank you, Rominl.
I went down and I really didn't like it...
I'm thinking about getting a little fatter rear tire next time and lower the rear little bit more.

drive more aggressively so you wear out the rear tire faster

I have gree, the car look great, but with the 19's and coilover adjustability I would go lower as well. I have to say since I lowered my car down to almost the max the ride quality is still great. better than my wifes stock acura TL suspension

looking good, but i think it should go lower
I agree, I think you should go lower But I was shocked to find out they were 19's, they look like 20's too me,.....maybe b/c of the drop.....

Thank you, thank you so much for the compliments, guys!!!

Honestly, If I do more drop, front sometimes rubs on hard turns.
It doesn't rub always.

However as I adjusted riding heights, if i lower it than now, wheels looks kinda smaller than now. If I raise more, it looks funny.
I found this height is some kinda sweetspot for my wheel size and rubbing issue.

I did dropped it as low as it could, car's handling was great eventhough I set the damper level just three clock up from the soft. I guess it's simply because of the low gravity point of the car
