too low is all about how uncomfortable you want to be. I keep mine kinda high until the wknds when I actually go out and push it to the limit. That low during the week DD wont be fun lol getting honked at while going 2mph into shopping centers

LOLZ clearly you don't think it's too low, but i guess that was a good enough excuse for you to post pictures of your recent handiwork here. Clearly, that's all this thread's purpose was.
But I don't care, sweet pictures, love the factory in the background. Some unique things on the car too, congrats on the purchase!! And don't worry, you'll go lower, i'ts a disease!
I'd side with Crusher though, you're sitting just about the perfect height right now.

Thanks every1 for the nice comments and feedback of what you guys think of my progress. The car rides like a diffrent car now, car feels like its glued to the ground and the car handles great around turns no body role what so Ever, only problem I'm having is some banging in the rear but hopefully raising the back will eliminate that banging. The front has allot of vibration in the steering wheel but hopefully that will all goes away after I do my alignment today.

They look like Raze R74 to me. They're prodrive knockoffs.

I was going to buy a lip kit but after I put that fake carbon fiber tape on the lower part of the bumper I changed my mind, I plan on getting eye lids for the headlights. I wanna keep it clean/aggressive looking as much as I can. I would get spacer but for these rims I have now since there only 7.5 in width it would look wierd from the rear having such small sized rims going so far out, I am going to buy spacers once I buy myself a pair of 19 inch g35c rims.

When you're on coilovers the ride quality doesn't change with the ride height.

I got my alignment done yesterday and I'm still having allot of vibration in the steering wheel if I accelerate, I'm guessing I am a bit to low to have form and function 
my axles hate me. Is there any things I should look at b4 I raise the car up a bit? Or is it 100% the axles?

Just replace the axels and keep it low. No need to raise it now.. Seems like one of them is on its way out.
If you are going to raise it check underneath the front end over carefully. Ball joints, end links, LCA, Cv boots Etc.

My passinger side axle I'm guessing is on its way out, the boots are good but I did have problems with the axle popping out of place and stretching the boot,I have been having problems with it popping out every time I unbolt the hub from the suspension. The drive side axle has only 5k on it.

Is the passinger 2 parts? I did a whole tranny swap and when I went to remove the passinger side axle 1 of the 3 bolts on the bracket were stripped so I took the whole bracket off with the axle and then replaced the bolt.
