Thanks for the info. Your car looks pretty low but I think my car is even lower. I measured the front again and it's now at 24.5" from ground to fender. The H&R suspension has settled almost 1/2 an inch since I had it installed. I'm putting the spacers on next week and may raise the front end if necessary to prevent future issues.

Because I was sitting 30 feet from it a minute ago I puled out a tape measure to compare. We're basically the same height. I'm just under 24.5 ground to fender. Just where the car should be!...except the car bump steers like a ***** at this height without bump steer correction

spacers installed

I took people's advice and installed spacers (H&R 15mm front; 7mm rear). Also got a 4-wheel alignment and adjusted the ride height to 24-7/8" on all four corners. Here are some before and after spacers pics. Thanks everyone for the helpful input.
