I never realized how low my car was(which is an inch lower than stock) until seeing this...

Not low enough! I have to be careful pulling to spots with those concrete beams because my front lip just barley makes it.
 
Im gonna order the IPD lowering springs so its not quite so low...i love the way it looks but Ive lost almost all the travel in my suspension.

I would order them during their summer sale. Plus you'll get the 15% off :D

I don't think I will ever lower mine, it would just be one more thing I have to think about when pulling in or out of an angled driveway or road.
 
Earlier this year I would have lost my bumper over a curb like that :)

It was on D2's, about as low as I could get it and still drive on the terrible Houston streets. Sold them off, swapped the motor, and still had $$$ left over to buy KYB G2's and drop springs. I had more plans in mind like wheels and some exterior JDM pieces but I don't want it to get stolen. :/
 
I do miss how comfy stock is.....if I hit a pot hole it feels like hell lol

My Mark 8 would pick up a beer can if you centered it.
That was too low but it looked good.
Fortunately it was bagged and I could raise it before road tripping.

Quality coilovers = WIN! :dblthumb2:

I dropped my car a couple years ago and haven't looked back. I installed Function & Form adjustable coilovers, Ingalls adjustable control arms up front and Ingalls adjustable 4-link in the rear, Moog balljoints for the front and Moog sway bar end links. Totally changed the way the car rides/handles. The ride is firm, but not harsh by any means. My kidneys or the passengers that accompany me have never complained. :)

I've never actually measured how low I am, but I can't clear most curbs like the one pictured. I dropped the front 2" and the rear 1.5". I usually make it a habit to back into parking spots so my front clip doesn't get ripped off.
 
not terribly low, but low enough to scrape on some speed bumps. definitely low enough to scrape on parking curbs... but since it's a small car, I never pull all the way in anyway.

more to the point, it's high enough to still have a lot of suspension travel and corner on rails.
 
That low enough to scrape on the parking and scrape on speed bumps. I think that's not great for ride well with freedom.
 
My srt-4 is stock height and still hit from time to time. It isn't going to stop me from getting BC Coilovers though and dropping her probably 1" to 1.5" all the way around without without sacrificing too much in comfort.
 
Infant even get in and out of my driveway I'm do low

I'll rip my bumper off if I try to do the driveway without wood blocks
