lower?

so i just put the coiovers on the evo and i just let the coilovers the same hight how i got them. i was thinking of slaming it but the car does drive vey nice and i still dont need to go sideways over speedbumps and it never scrapes so it has me thinking twice about lowering it, but very low evos do look sick
what do you guys think should i leave it the way it stits or go lower?

heres alot of pics of how it sits now to help u decide.

the height isnt that bad, i think your tires have to low of a profile making it look like it needs to be more low

i agree completely... the tires make you look like you need to go lower... i think your ride height is perfect, but get a slightly larger tire, and youll be set! fill those wheelwells!!!!!

Perfect... dont touch the suspension. Slamming the car is pointless unless your pissed off at your oil pan. I laugh at all the VW kids around here that do that, they cant even get over a small speed bump with out going completly sideways at 0.12mph... even once seen a kid with his golf up on jack stands at 1130pm in a parking lot changing his oil pan because he hit it on his way in and busted it up.

Keep it. Get bigger tires to fill in those gaps.
