I took these pics 3days ago after installing the springs, the car got a little lower since then with speed bumps. I took the exhaust off since the car will be getting painted.......

It still looks stock height to me. Anyway, a little more lower would make it look lowered, and what color are you about to change it to?

Does the bump rubber that I'm supposed to cut have anything to do with the lowering?

It's definitely lower than before, but yes, the front should be lower cause it looks like it's raised in the front compared the the back.

Car looks good.

I gave up trying to do spring work myself a number of years ago. Did it on some of my cars and trucks, also helped friends and eventually realized that dealing with springs can be quite annoying - and dangerous.

Now I just rather pay somebody to do swap springs for me. Will probably do that when I decide to lower my 8 - unless if decide to go with coilovers. Swaping those is always easier.
