I just installed them recently. My car is lowered so I'm using the lowest setting on the brackets for my lower control arms.
They do appear to look kinda low. Not the best picture, but all I had from my install.

Hi Nic. A good visual is that they are within the diameter of a 15" wheel with no tire. In other words, if you blow a tire and the car is riding on the rim, the bracket doesn't touch the ground.
Luckily they're outboard so they rarely cause a problem. It's a lot easier to scrape something on the centerline.

It is cool. I have seen multiple post over the last four or five years from Thule and always look at his car and think, "if he can have one that clean in Iceland away from the mainstream here so can I."
I give you credit and respect for your car and the mods you do to it. Everything I see you do is top notch and done with purposeful intent. Hopefully you will be able to drive it soon as a four year hiatus is way to long.

That is still way too long to have such a nice car sit. I haven't had mine since it got backed into two days ago and I'm itching. I can't even imagine. I just got the relocation brackets because they were cheaper as a package and my car will be lowered soon. Good pics in here.
