Visually it looks good to me.
Do you really want the collapsed suspension look?

I don't know if you need to have the car any lower. I think the problem is your rims are too small. It looks more flushed on other cars because they have bigger rims I'm assuming. That's just what I think is the problem though, but don't listen to me over the other guys, they're more educated on the technical stuff haha.

Does not look that you need to lower the car as it looks fine.
Those are certainly low profile tires, they look like rubber bands. I could not get through a season with our rough roads and potholes without damaging the rim or tire

Also, do you guys think that lowering a CO is an easy DIY ?

Wow, this car is low. My buddy used to have his car this low on the cut cup kit, it was crazy, he drove very very slow, I don't think it's practical at all.
Low is good, but not too low.
