After looking at the lowered ride height of my Celica today and admiring the stance of the car it got me thinking. Which jap coupe has the lowest height from the ground to the top of the roof line? Assuming that the car will be lowered on a proper setup, i guess the best way of putting the question is, which 2+2 jap coupe has the shortest height from the bottom of the sills to the top? So far I reckon the Mazda RX7 and the Honda Prelude Gen 4 are the lowest. Any others?

Drat! My Celica is the tallest there bar the BB prelude.

To me it feels as though each generation on from the previous is taller with the exception of the FD3.

Does the NSX even need lowering? That's quite low. But it's not a 2+2 though is it?
