Is it lower than this?

Thats as high as possible for it to go.
Don't worry I have a chin spoiler going on and the car is parked.

not to be a dick but...didnt you at least try to measure how big your space was and how big your intercooler was gonna be?

Well in my case, I used a stock Mitsubishi Starion intercooler, it is the biggest and nicest intercooler available at any autowrecker this side of the ocean. It wasn't about research it was about making it fit the best possible and then convering the bottom with a CHIN SPOILER. Has anyone read that part of any of my posts?

Front end will come soon, I just dumped $4500 into the motor, fuel system and bigger turbo and I want to put money in rims next. I went looks on previous cars and this one I wanted street domination (FWD) before looks.

Sure, the chin spoiler will help prevent damage, but then you've blocked airflow to half your intercooler.
