That sounds about right.
I had to massively modified the rear specification of the MeisterR Zeta-R Coilovers in order to get the rear to have the correct ride height adjustment for the EP82/91 chassis.
The EP82/91 Chassis are quite a bit different from the Tercel, even though they share the same suspension.
For 15" tyres, it really need to be able to go this low to look right.

That is only true if you are using a single perch coilovers where lowering actually decrease the performance of the dampers as you are loosing damper travel.
On a "Dual Perch" setup, lowering the ride height will not cause any lost of damper stroke travel or change the springs pre-load, so technically so you are not loosing any performance by lowering the ride height.
Yes, it does put other parts of the suspension (bushes for example) under more stress, roll center changes, etc.
But the effect isn't HUGE and alot of the difference can be sorted out by using different alignment setting.
A set of suspension going too low is never a good thing on a car.
But at the same time, a set of suspension that couldn't go low because it isn't properly specified for the chassis isn't a good thing either.
The long as you have the "correct" range of height adjustment available, then it is up to the user to decide what is best for them.
This is the whole point of having adjustable suspension as you can decide what you want and achieve it.

lowered 40mm i think is were you produce best handling. however if i want to race around everywhere id by a shit car, untill such times i like my car low and drive sloooow, just so people can see cars live past the whole scrapage scheme. both arches level with the tyre looks damn good.
