Default Ride height change, what do you think ? PIC

I just remembered this pic from last summer. Re-adjusted the ride height on the front and rear coil-overs. Something about this pic that I like and wanted to share Let me know what you think about the ride height, also had the HID setup in the mains (6000k) and the fogs (6000k). The lights make a huge difference at night, considering LTx stock lighting sucks....

Thanks guys, I have struggled to get the ride height at a level that I like and still be able to have a low stance for street driving.

Go and lower the rear about 1/2" more, then it'll look perfect!

Thanks again for the compliments, I had the rear a little lower right before this pic, but the car would get real close to the tires when you have two people in the vehicle. Actually, the ride height is a 1/4 to 3/8" lower when there is someone in the car and that is exactly the height it use to be when it was just sitting by itself. When driving it's a little bit lower for just the right balance between street clearance and stance (for looks of course). I also get a much better bite from the 315/30/18 BFG drag radial when I give the car a bit more suspension travel with its current ride height. The Hals are set on 5/6 in the rear and it seems to work well on the street which is where the car spends most of its life.

Another pic from the rear:

Appreciate all the great comments!

Torque Fiend,
The current exhaust setup is a fully polished CORSA premium pro twin tip, FLP 1.75" longtubes & the matching FLP off-road y-pipe. I have never scraped the exhaust.
