The car is lowered substantially. I have a low profile racing jack and I can barely get to front cross member. I feel like the rears will look better when I install new tires; they are worn past the tread indicators 
Also, this is still the trial height as the coils were just installed.

I haven't measured hub to the ground yet, but its pretty ****** low. I debated dropping it more but I am switching to 45 series sidewalls and I am going to need the clearance (I like the meaty tire appearance over super low pros). I will update with better pictures with the new rears tomorrow.

I just don't like the ride of a 40 series. Also, frame to ground is 4.5", body is around 3.5". I could go lower, but that would only exacerbate my rear camber and make my wack *** offset more noticeable. Definitely need spacers with a +40 offset and rear camber adjustment links to add some positive to the rear.

Just lower the spring perch in the rear. Really, I would only do it about 1.5-2".
1" is perfectly fine though.
RadioX7 has his drooped like 4" hahaha, and it has been like that for a LONG time. Still no problems. His **** literally hits the bump stops. And his cx racing coilovers are still kickin'
Don't over do it, just do an inch and you'll be good.

Not "sagging" but drooping, yes.

So, with the specs I posted earlier; what size spacers would you recommend for front and rear to bring it flush? I feel 15mm in the front would be appropriate. As for the rear... 5mm or 10mm? I have a rear camber bar as well to dial in some more positive camber.
Thanks in advance.
