IMO LOWER LOWER..

But since you're in NJ you need some clearance for the roads.

It looks good though

What are the chassis height numbers? Butt seems high relative to the front, but could be camera angle.

It does look a little high to me.

You've got to change that key too!

I think the stance is perfect. You can still make it over speed bumps, right? Your car is nicely set up... simple, but definitely not stock.

Well, I think it looks perfect. Not everyone goes for the ultra lowrider look. I really need to do this to mine, it looks so much better than the stock setup. But as I will probably add new wheels/tires at the same time, ill need to keep this in mind as well.

BTW, is there a wheel/tire size & suspension drop simulator somewhere online?

Looks better.
I'd still go lower.

If you're happy with it, leave it alone. Personally, I think you've got to go lower. Looks to me like 5mm above RoW M030.

I do agree with Jim that the butt seems high in relation to the front.

It still looks a bit too tall. Here is a pic of my midnignt blue at RS+10mm.
Oops, I guess I could have just said to look at the pic to the left....

Looks better than stock. But I'd bring it down until you can't see any fender gaps on top.

Tks all for taking the time with the input. I tend to agree to go lower, but I dont want to risk going too low and grind the fenders.. it only has about 1 inch of clearence between the outside of the tire and the fender lip. I think I will have to experience someone elses Pcar that is lowered to the max before I attempt this "lowering" project one more time. CarreraX your car looks great!
