he prefers function over form.
nothing against you, just his preference.

and at asking us if you should go lower.
do what you want to do.
if that means going lower, then do it!

we can sit here and critique your car all day, but you're the one that has to live/drive with it.

if you can handle going lower and all its trouble that is associated with going lower then by all means, go lower.
p.s. if you cant handle going lower, you can always raise it back up.
its not like its the end of the world and you cant go back up.

if you find that you dont like it and or the troubles of being too low is TOO MUCH for you, simply raise it back up...

I've heard of ppl crashing their cars from being too low lol. When you're low enough you can scrape road lane reflectors and the right size and shape pothole and make your car spin out

The ride height looks great, but I'd do something about those exhaust tips.

Personally I wouldn't but it would look good. I only lowered 20mm and I scrape coming out of my driveway at more than 1-2MPH.

Keep it how it is... don't ruin it.

Lower isn't always a good thing... nor is it "cool"

19x10+38mm all around
Front has 15mm spacer to clear calibers since its 6mt.
And most likely I'm planing to add 15mm to the rear by next week.
225/35/19 and ill show you a picture of how the stretch is on that.

Id go lower and roll the fenders, problem solved. Oh and stiffen up the ride a bit if you have adjustable coilovers.

Not insulting for asking. Insulting because you still say dawg.

If you want to go lower then go lower.

I used to ride around maxed out on the Tein SS and it was more than low enough for me. It got old real fast, with all the driveways and store entrances. Now I just lower it enough to get rid of the gap between of the tire and the fender.

I think your car looks great already at that height.
