I personally would get smaller rims or something cuz im not feeling the top of the tire being in like that. Otherwise the car looks sick low like that.

looks like someone messed with preload if those are "stock" settings.
Honestly, I like low, but at the level it's at, it almost looks like something is wrong with the car.

If you were stock height before, ENJOY! lol...forget front aspec though...you'll destroy it if there's a penny on the road.

I don't know if the front strut has enough to stroke. You might hit a bump stop for very small hump on the road.

I think you should make your rear end as lower or lift up the front little more.

I'd go higher for sure if you'd like to keep your oil pan.

I wish I could keep it this low, but this would not work too well here in Colorado.

At least you're rollin' with the stockies. I say, "Raise 'er up some!" Especially in the front.

lol. figure i'll give you some pointers if you haven't figured out the megans.. but you want to TWIST the tube and adjust the height accordingly first prior to adjusting the rings...cause I didn't twist the tube..and i placed it at the lowest possible (which raises the car) and it was still slammed..

It's not really stance if your car is slammed in the front and 2 inches higher in the rear with stock wheels.

A good wash...some better pics...and raise the front a little are in order.

I had megans on my RSX and it took me a long time to figure out I was using preload to adjust height. But what I hated about the way you lower them is it was hard to see how far in the threads were threaded. Not a knock on them...I just like the simplicity of the Tein's I have now.

Megans definitely go lower though. lol...as you have clearly shown.

I was just playin'. Just wanted to have some fun. But don't worry, I promise the final stance will be one to remember.

I love that look (if you dropped the back too). Too bad it makes the car unusable or I'd do it to mine. Post pics once you get it dialed in.

OP- how much space between the front air damn and the ground do you have? It can't be that much. I'd be nervous just driving down the street and hitting a bump..
