the height seems pretty good to me.....but thats just my opinion...i love to go as low as possible depending on driving conditions....is there any reason why you decided to get a camber kit for the front?i dont think you'll need to use it on the front....i had my coilovers all the way down and i didnt need the camber kit for it....just the rear

so i shouldnt put on the front ones ?

It might not look low becuase its on 17s with stock tires. I guess maybe if you want that really low look you either lower the profile on the 17s to 40-45 or switch to 18-19's. As of right now though that's kinda low.

Tanabe Pro II's I presume, since the springs wouldn't be that aggressive alone?
I agree with some of the above saying it's a little too much, especially the rear end.
1 finger gap would be plenty all round, or 1 front, 1.5-2 rear in keeping with the standard appearance.

actually it's all right
i had Tein SS installed, looked pretty much the same, but rear Raises when you get the Ingalls camber kit adjusted.
Drive first with that height for couple days, see if you like the set up, raise if you need to, and then get the ingalls installed.
but remember, with ingalls installed, your rear WILL BE RAISED

I can't see why the same wouldn't happen to you - so personally i wouldn't install it

+1 on the "too low" boat. The ideal gap to me is 1-2 fingers all around, I'd hate driving much lower. Also, as your attorney, I advise you to put the center caps back on your OEM wheels.

I would raise it up so you have a tight 1 finger gap so its subtle and clean.

LOL rice territory.. I dunno about that now. Its funny because all the cars everyone drools over are slammed like that or lower. Leave it like that or raise it a bit, but still tuck a little tire.

I also think it's too low.
Riding that low really kills the practicality of your car. For instance, you probably won't be able to make it over certain speed bumps at that neight. I'm probably 1/2-2/3" higher than you, and I just BARELY make it over most speed bumps.
Also, since your Tanabes have a lower spring rate, you might be suceptible to bottoming out more often at that height (regardless of the number of people in your car).
Still, it's your car, so if you like it who cares what we think?

I don't know but that's how low my car is right now with my 19's and when I had my stocks on. Make sure you install the rear camber kit. Looks good man, I don't see anything rice about that.
