Is my car lower than normal? ( Neuspeed Sports )

My fiancée has been b!tching the past few weeks that her car is way too low. She's been driving with it lowered on Neuspeed Sports for the past 3 years and I can't for the life of me figure out why NOW she seems to think its too low for her. I didn't think that Neuspeed would have spring sag but who knows. Anyhow here are the only pics I have of it for now. Does it look normal to you guys? She's on 3 year old Tokico HPs or Blues. Any advice....she wants Tein Basics but I don't want to spend the $$.

Looks like a good stance...I myself would drop it more but then again I'm a ricey fool. Looks about right for Neuspeed Sports too, any settling would have happened over the first few months following the lowering job. I'm not sure if you have aftermarket shocks on there but perhaps your fiancee scraped a little on a quickly-approached speedbump and got a slight case of the lowrider jitters?

Looks nice to me.

Her shocks might just be getting old. How many miles do you have on them?

It looks fine to me. I have sports on a sedan and mine looks about the same.

The drop looks fine, but than again its just sitting there. If she thinks its too low, tell her to clean out the trunk (most women I know have a trunk full of shjt) and if there is still a problem, the shocks might be going out. Otherwise, nothing looks wrong.

i've got sportlines and it's a very similiar look - call for only 1.4" drop but it seems to settle in just like above pics?

Looks fine to me. Maybe she just really wants the Tein Basics.

Thanks guys I agree 100% that the car looks perfect. However I've almost convinced myself that its lower than it was back in 01. The setup probably has 30k on it. The car itself only has 38k. Maybe after 30K miles its time for a change? In any case thanks for the kind words...I'm sure she would be very pleased.

same neuspeed sports used for about 1 1/2 years and my wheels are most likely smaller than yours (205/50/16). your height looks right for neuspeed sports.
