too low?

I've had my 05 coupe, sport package, about 3 weeks now...I put on the spacers last week (15mm front & 20mm back) and I got the rest installed Yesterday;

Tokico shocks
Tanabe DF210 springs
EVO350 A Arms
SPC (?) rear camber kit

It looks awesome! It's got about one finger space in the rear but the front is actually about even with the top of the tire. Maybe a tad lower. Tires don't rub going down the road and it actually rides pretty good but going in and out of driveways is a bitch. With the wheel turned, it's only got about an inch before it hits the inner fender, which I've done several times already. I may go for 10mm spacers in front..

Guess I should of went with Eibach pro.. or coilovers ($$). I'll try to take a couple pics... For those that want it really low and don't mind slowly going in and out of parking lots you might check them out.

Pics would be great (as if you didn't already know that) to help us help you decide.

The ride is not bad. Can't really tell the difference on freeway or normal streets. The only time I can tell is like going thru intersections where the other road is higher or kind of roughed up. I guess it kind of bottoms but it's nothing dramatic, no banging or thud. The first couple inches of travel are pretty normal. If the front was like the back (a finger worth of space) I don't think I would have any complaints.

You will definately need camber kits. I have the stock 19 Ray rims. I took some pics, now I'll see if I can add them....

It says my pics are too big (they 740 and max is 266). How do I change them to fit?

I was looking for something not stock, don't like that type thats on front of most other front end kits. I'm not too crazy about this billet one either. The only one I've seen that I like is the blacked out stock ones. I may play around and do that. Here's a couple more pics showing the tire clearance better.

there is no such thing as too low IMO lol. just gotta take your time with driveways etc. also the grill isnt the best in my opinion. try the black out one or just keep it stock its pretty nice
