Those look a lot like the old RPM2's, which I have always been a huge fan of:

I run RPO3's. I want Black RPF1's. Peppy's car looks great. with the black and gold ones. Helped him change them out last weekend at BMP. Don't know if it's worth it to post a pic of mine because so many have them. I purchased them because they were on sale in a close out. I don't like having to clean them. the little groove around the edges are an added area to deal with. I only use them for track and they really aren't what I would consider a track wheel. So, one day when I get rich, I will go for the RPF1's or what ever is appropriate at the time.

EDIT:
Ah, what the hell, here's mine:

Don't know how much I'm lowered by though, but I have 1/2 inch clearance front and rear if that helps.

Stance GR coilovers just feels like it's the way to go

could i go lower with the coilovers?
i mean i'm not hitting any tracks rite now(maybe in future), and maybe geting stance gr coilovers would be little too much for my daily driving?

what are some other lower profile coilovers that are good/?

^Right now i'm running Megan Racing coilovers, Have 150 miles on the track with them, and about 8 AutoCrosses. For what your looking for, the Megans seem like they would be good for you, and there a good bit cheaper than the Stance.

And to answer your other question, Yes the Stance coilovers can go lower then seen in Zelse's picture.

Stance is one of the only coilovers that you can slam your car and not lose suspension travel..lol. If you're not tracking or anything man, do what I did and just get Tein S-Tech springs. Real cheap, looks great, and you'll enjoy them. I went coilovers for performance and all, not really looks. If anything, I raised the height a touch from S tech.

As for Stance in terms of performance, everyone that has driven my car so far loves them and says they feel much better then some of the other coilovers they have. Predictable, beefy, nice color, good price, high quality, and a warranty that can't be beat.

not the only, any coilover where ride height is not depended on preload does that.

I did not... there was a photographer at the last two events. There are probably 10 pics of your car. Sending you a link via PM.
