Default Is my car to low?

I just put on Eibach Sportline Springs. The only difference is that I got brand new Tokico shocks for the front and the stock ones still on the back (till the money comes). Would having 16 rims make a difference, I would put my stock 17s on there but I don't have tires on them now. I was looking at other pics of cars with the same springs but bigger rims(18s) and the front looked a little higher then mine. Let me know so i can expect not to drag the ground forever.

Pics:

Yes, there is something majorly wrong with that picture. I wouldn't even drive it until I had that problem solved. Look up Sam Strano or Stranoparts.com and send Sam an email with that picture in it. He can probably help you.

That front is bad. I put on the pro kit and your drop in the rear looks the same as mine. My front is a tad lower than my rears.

Its deffinately the 16" rims, A buddy of mine had a red T/A like urs with that drop, and it was just as low. Mine has the sportlines on it and I have the 17" wheels, and it isnt that damn low. So when you get ur new tires on ur rims it will be better.

I had stock 16's with when i first got my sportlines on and it was not near that low on the front, You need to get it checked out somthing is wrong. The back looks about right for sportlines though.

I don't think it has anything to do with the wheels. It is something to do with the suspension.

Here is my car lowered with QA1 adjustable suspension. That is way to low, sometimes I even have problems in driveways, and certain roads.

Thats not too low. My car was about the same when I put my stock 16s on. Hell even with my 17s its not too much higher. I have DMS springs BTW. Just gotta drive slow when approaching a speed bump or driveway and stuff and go at it sideways (like the ricers lol).
