It's definitely a touch too low, especially in the rear (where it rubs). I don't have any issues up front anymore.
Stiffer springs would reduce the change in ride height, but in general that's not the reason to use stiffer springs. Cars with a lot of downforce might use stiffer springs (in part) to reduce variations in ride height at speed and because high downforce cars may be more sensitive to changes in pitch.

But for our cars, minimizing the amount the suspension moves is not a good idea for a car that's driven on the street.
