should I try lowering more???
I need opinions. I drove around with this height and its manageable, more manageable than I first thought with this kit and long assss wheel base.. I scrape a little once in a while but nothing major. Only a few light scratches under neath the bumper on crazy poorly engineered and thought out driveways/entrances.
Should I go lower? Or does it look decently low as is?? I need opinions from others. If the majority says it looks good as is I will leave it. Im just really compulsive, I think I got ocd or something lol. I know I posted these pics before in my other thread, but I have no other recent examples.
I was gonna start a thread "how low can you go" for everyone to post in with their height but I thought I would get straight to the point. lol

I think I am sitting at about your ride height, if not slightly higher.
It is up to you. Asking others on here isn't going to help since ClubLexus is obsessed with ride height and wheel fitment more than other car communities.
There are a couple of things to take into consideration here.
First, is what you do with your car. If you drive to and from familiar places most of the time and there are no major obstacles along the way to and from, then go for it.
Second, if you dump it more, take your driving style into consideration because obviously it is the front that you have to worry about. No matter how perfectly you roll it, it is not going to clear when you turn hard and the suspension compresses; sure, it is easy not to rub when driving straight but hard turns are a completely different story.
Third, is alignment and tire life. Assuming that you don't have a camber kit in the rear, you are probably running negative 2.5 or greater so any further lowering will cause more uneven tire-wear.
Personally, I think it looks fine. Everything looks flush. Lower it another 1/4 to 1/2 inch all around if you like, preferably if you can get a camber kit and not run -3 in the back.
