Stay at this height or go a little lower? I installed GC coilovers and spring jackers the other day. I haven't gone to get it re-aligned yet because I want to make sure I've got the ride height exactly where I want it so I won't have to re-adjust and re-align again.
As it sits now, I think the front needs to drop just a smidge and the rear is good where it is.
I found it odd that even with aftermarket springs all exactly the same length and set exactly the same with the GC stuff, the passenger side still sits lower as it did with the stock springs.

That is a hard pic to judge it from, pull it back from the curb and also shoot a front pic from grill height.
The front looks a smidgt high but it could just be an illusion from the curb blocker and the slightly tilted angle.
White cars are so picky when you try to figure the height out...
They aren't very forgiving when you make an appearance mistake either.

Thanks. I was thinking about 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower. Not so much that I'll have to worry about scraping everywhere but enough that there's no doubt it has been lowered. If I get the chance, I'll take some more pics.

I've got the GC's as well and have it low enough that the top of the tire almost tucks into the wheel well. Not insanely low and obviously not as low as it can go on the GC's, but looks VERY good and speed bumps is all I have to worry about.

Go there for an example of what I'm talking about. Granted I have 18's but I don't have rubbing or scraping issues at all.

That's just the funny thing I mentioned. The springs are all the same length driver vs. passenger side. Everything is the same side to side. But the driver's side is still higher just like it was with the stock springs. Lots of other people have noted their driver's side being higher.

Hehe, they're in good. 
I put 'em in in Dallas the drove to Houston. Later in the week I drove to College Station where I ran the car in an autocross.
