You could probably lower the front more. It might be just me but it looks higher than the rear.

It depends what springs they're running, what rates, etc.

How do you plan on "lowering it more"?

The reason I see why the front might be a little higher is that under heavy braking the front is going to dive. You want the front a little higher so when weight transfers you're actually cornering more flat. But that really completely depends on your suspension setup.

I've found that the S2000 actually handles best with the rear slightly lower than the front.
