Too Low or not?

Just got my car lowered on KW V1's yesterday. handles a lot better with slightly firmer ride. Want to get some opinions on what you guys think. I'm getting the car check again next week after the suspension settles down, at that time i can get the height changed if i want. Also, will a rise in height bring about a softer ride?

Here's some pics:

Great job mate, I think it sits at just the right height as it is. But like you say it WILL bed in and by this time next week or a little longer it will be lower so you will have to raise it just slightly. Coilovers are a matter of trial and error to try and stike the perfect balance with ride comfort/handling balance.

See how you get on with speed bumps etc... try some different roads, and remember it will be alot lower when you have people in the car :)

If that was mine, I would probably raise the rear end or drop the front a smidgen as I prefer a slightly more nose down stance. Looks good though :)

got it lowered 40mm. handles a lot better. no problems with speed bumps so far, but have to take them a lot slower than before :lol: a bit firm for going over speed bumps at more than crawling speed.
