Looks great, and a world better than stock. Personally, I'd go just a bit lower as others mentioned, but ONLY if you're willing to deal with the tradeoffs of having to carefully negotiate driveways and dips. For my daily driving, it has become second nature ...and I LOVE the look every time I see her! If you're ok with the compromise, go for it!

BTW, nice b/w renditions!

To me, it looks good right where you have it...yes, mine is still at SUV, so my eyes have grown accustomed to it, but one can get too grotesquely low as well, I feel...

I ended up 134/117---high end of RS, Low end of ROW Sport.

Feels great. However, I scape a little more than before but have the Gert Protection Bar as well.

I think it looks great! I'd drive it like that for a year and see how many times I scraped my nose before going any lower.

this is a good stance.
Also how do you get away with no front plate in NJ?

Awesome - love it. You don;t have to look 'up' to see the chik in the nissan in the intersection. I'm still suv and on the fence. BTW: is any of your artwork for sale?

Looking really good!

+1. It definitely looks better, but my preference would be a bit lower. This is of course a tradeoff. Lower will mean paying a lot more attention to how you navigate entrances, and where you can go or not go without scraping. For example, when I settled on my final ride height I found that the gas station I normally frequented was too much of a scraping hassle (pulling out slowly, at an angle, with traffic bearing down) so I needed to find another one.

If you have the same issues in NJ, you may have already found a good compromise.
