Ok guys, cut 1 coil off the springs and this is what happened. It seems to have lowered 2 inches because the front gap is zero. I replaced the upper control arms and threw the springs in there and it rides very well. It does not seem to affect anything in terms of ride comfort, it is not bouncy at all. I am going to lower the back sometime soon. so here is what it looks like now.

Very tasteful modifications you've done to the car. It's a very clean looking ride!

Just a suggestion I think you should put some rear headrests. It furthers and completes the "euro" look.
