I got my car back yesterday after having coilovers put on. I asked the installer for a 1 inch drop. He lowered it a bit more than that. He told me to drive it like this for a week or two and then if I still want it raised he'll raise it for free. What do you think? Is it too low, or should I keep it as is?

Thanks!

 

"Is my car too low?"

If the wheels aren't tucked in of the fender.. then it is not to low

my 2 cents

looks nice IMO!

 

Looks perfect

 

looks fine. any higher and you should've just left it stock...

 

Looks just right

 

Looks great! Personally, I don't like the look of the gap when the top is narrower than the sides, but to each his own.

You could go a bit lower up front, but I would not go higher -- front or back.

In the end, do what YOU like.

Probably a dumb question,but are drops strictly cosmetic or is there a significant handling improvement?
If a lower center of gravity (about 1") makes a significant feel in handling properties,I would consider it.
Looks only,I could live with stock.

 

I like it. Lowering a car isn't for me anymore, but when I use to lower my cars I would go with a no finger gap.

 

What's your definition of low?

 

There is no such thing as too low, but your car IMO looks perfect please keep it at that height

 

^^ doggy would say that.

Anyways its higher than my g37x coupe, and i drive in the winter so your all good

 

looks exactly like my ride when i was on eibach pro kit. awesome look, great handling. i really miss the aggresive stance. my problem was with speed bumps and driveways: a long sedan wheelbase and a drop aren't always a friendly combo. if you can manage then stick with it 'cause it looks great.

 

Thanks for all the input. Yeah, I'll probably keep it as this height. It is starting to grow on me. One of my concerns is if it's going to settle and get lower over the next few weeks or does that only happen with springs?

 

I've got 20's on the way and a drop planned, but as it stands my front lip just barely clears curbs.

When she gets her drop I'll need to be careful.

 

BTW- If you plan to raise it, grab the wrenches and turn each corner equally to raise. Don't pay someone to do that for you.
