mlai, how's your ride with the ACS springs? Cos I just found out couple days after i picked up the car that there is comfort/ sport modes where the shocks stiffen up slllliiiigggghhhhtly, so maybe I'll give it a shot with 25mm spring drop. Hopefully this will keep the comfort. cos I'm worried when it runs on 20"s, the ride will be horrible.

btw, when do u guys meet up again? would love to check out ur rides.

I think it's physiological. You probably don't have electronic dampers so your shocks won't stiffen up with any modes. Unless you paid to get the EDC option.

20" will not be as comfortable as 17" stock and you have to accept this fact if you swap. Better looking and cornering though. Light wheels will help your performance a bit too.

My f10 has adaptive drive and I put on the acs springs. Very nice balance between ride comfort and handling. Drop is perfect for me.

But than, ymmv
