I think it looks good the way it sits in the pic...IMO it will look too low in the rear if you do the rear hose mod.

"too low" for what? appearance-wise it's a matter of opinion. performance-wise you have very little suspension travel already so you'll basically just be riding the stops if you go much lower.

looks good to me though, nice car.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought it would look better if the front was up a little bit

Getting some better springs that don't slam the car? Looks like you have sportlines...

Its for you to decide if it to low w/hose mod..
IMO, it looks good how it sit now, but go ahead and do the hose mod and see how you like it. If you don't like it then just put the upper spring isolator back in.

Doing the hose mod would likely put the rear lower than the front. Keep the slight forward rake. At least this way if you put a bunch of stuff in the hatch you won't be sagging in the rear.
