Question Lowered too much?

I forgot where i got this link from:
http://www.verlinden-productions.com/wim/Springs_RX_8/

But does anyone else think the RX-8 in the above pix looks as if it was lowered too much? Would anyone happen to know what springs/suspension setup was used?

Thanks!

Thanks! According to his profile he has "Tein Basic Coilover". Checking out his site, I suppose the height appears better with his aftermarket rims: http://modena.no-ip.com/

Have a great day!

what it looks like and how it rides and handles are two different things, a couple of not so good things start too happen, first, the control arms go way past the horizontal plane which tends to induce bump steer and scrub, second depending on the shocks/springs you could be slamming on the bumpstops over bumps and/or through the turns

in the pics I never saw any Teins, just stock shocks, not good for lowering ...

edit: looks like maybe an EDFC harness in the one rear shock tower pic
