That one IS low. You're right about the ADV1 shoots, they're all photoshopped to billiard table smooth roads only driving height. That one you posted and SW's (Streetking) are about the lowest (non-photoshop'd) I've seen. 
Yeah, you can lower with the T&A kit (you use the stock springs) or with a set of Penske adjustables (about 15% stiffer springs). I was running the T/A's last year with a bit of rake, but now I've got the Penskes. When I put them on, I raised the front a bit for some extra clearance. The car is still lowered, but not quite as much as before. I'm pretty sure I'm running evenly gapped now. The car certainly "looks" flat when you check it. If it's out, it's only because of the corner balance. With other cars, it's because of the look created with 19" rears and 18" fronts (or 20" rears and 19" fronts which seem to be the new GT rage). But I agree, most of the cars are raked a bit. Certainly nicer than the 'reverse rake' the stock suspension provides. Most guys run a bit of rake for the looks (and I seem to recall Alex (T/A shocks) mentioning that it might improve the high speed balance a bit too).
Thanks John, much nicer 
, and no worries on the prior pic delete. It's not that big a deal, riding that low it's pretty obvious it's been photoshopped. And it IS pretty damned funny.
BTW. This is the lowest FGT I've ever seen, but Adv1 has been known to chop their cars dramatically, so Idk if this is legit or not.
Relatively certain those are chopped. I noticed from this cars Adv.1 photoshoot that the pictures with the Adv. 1 watermarks were "chopped" lower.
BTW: I have noticed a LOT of FGT's are unevenly lowered. The rear has a bigger gap 99% of the time. Is it due to the fact they are running 18/19 or 19/20 rim combos? Even so, if you lower the FGT was T&A's, you control how low each corner is like regular coilovers right? I haven't seen an even wheel gapped FGT yet lol.

I'm sure some pictures are 0 option cars, but it's kind of hard to tell if it's a 0/4 or 1/4 option based on pictures from exterior. But I've seen some stripeless, silver calipered, and non-bbs wheels FGT's. Idk, maybe there is no such thing as 0 option FGT, have to ask Pro, he's the pro around here.
