I agree with everyone else.  The ride height is great just the way it is.  The only way your car would look better is if those wheels were 17's.

No way, 15's look good.  17's would help corner better though! :cheers:

It looks great the way it is now.  You'll know more when you drive it if the rear tires are going to rub when the rear shocks travel.  Nice wheels by the way!

I may lower the front just a tad.

I like the gap or how much tire showing for the front to match that of the rear.  No likey when there's more gap on the front than the rear.  My $0.02.

Looks great BTW.
