depends what you're trying to do

if you're out to race/auto-x/track..yes you're too low

if you're DD, and you drive through crappy roads and stuff and you care about your car, then yes you're too low. but if you dont care, or you drive though nice roads, and you're careful, then you're totally fine

my car is pretty low as well. im just fine pare

the question is, how much do you like you handling... and how rough you like your ride, everyone is different but, personally, the stiffer the better

Probably too low... depends on how short the struts/shocks are. You can easily check bump travel with a zip tie secured to the strut shaft...
