Nice! It might be a bit too low, but the angle of the driveway makes it a bit difficult to tell.

Looks like a submarine emerging.

You will need bumpstops from the front and crank it down till level. And then you will need an alignment.

They look good low, but the rear is very low and I think needs to come up at least 1", maybe more. I have mine set so it sits higher in the rear than the front by about 1/2". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here's my quick edit to get the wheels close to horizontal. The car now looks very level. That's fine, but I prefer just a bit of forward rake.

Sorry man but an inch down in front is probably close. The back is righteous

Take a picture on level ground.
Pretty widely agreed that nose down and low is best.
Nose up is worst.
Just sayin'

Mine sits 22 1/4 at the rear and the car is level. Car is stock, but springs are probably a little tired.

you really need front rake (lower in the front than the back) for best handling and weight transfer.

additionally... your front looks pretty low to me, but I'm not there in person to tell.
if you get your front too low... I guarantee you will blow both shocks out within a year. too low and the shocks do not have rull range of travel. you can buy custom length of shocks to accomodate this.... or raise it back up to have shock range.

my race car has custom shorter shocks and custom shorter struts to allow this.

too low also creates very bad handling as you are on the bump stops each bump... and the shocks are unable to do their job
