That looks nice! I think you should leave it like that.

I think your at the perfect height, unless you want to deal with krazy scraping over speed bumps and driveways

I don't understand what is it with some people here...

The ride height looks perfect. That being said, your rear is a bit higher than the front, but it looks real good.

Anything lower is just asking for hassle.

It looks really good the way it is.

But i would go up one sidewall size, then lower to tuck.

That ways you have the appearance of better fitment and stance, but keep good clearance.

Lower will look better until your front bumper is cracked, busted or torn off. If you can afford to pay the paint and body guys every few months I say drop it, if not, it looks pretty darn good where it sits now.

Thanks for all the replies.

I was gonna go with lowering more but after taking the sc to my office today I realized that its sketchy to go lower without air suspension, as many here mentioned. My bumper is already a bit scraped underneath from only 1-3 drives from driveways.

Im gonna stick to the current height. Thanks to everyone that said it looks fine as is.

Here is a pic of the speedbumps at my office. I went over 1 and barely scraped by about 3 millimeters. This one, if I would of went over it, the skirts would of scraped crazy. If this were my daily I would have to park far, and walk into the building complex. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a car.lol I need air!
