opinions...should i drop her back low or leave as is?
so as you may know i had to raise the car up in order for the dealership to perform the scheduled maintenance. now that it's done it's pretty easy to adjust them back down but started thinking that maybe it doesn't look too bad or maybe i should just bring it down a tad bit but not extreme like before? let me know guys!

Just my 2 cent, drop it a little more to where the tire is lined up with the fender. No need to tuck imo.

IMHO, go down about half of what it was before.

i do feel like a 4x4 at times since driving on it for 2 days now. sometimes i think it's fine but after watching videos and being on here and what not i think it's too high. leaning towards dropping it a tad more

No point in having coilovers if you going to drop a little bit. How about I buy you lowering springs and you give me your coilovers

I'm aware I'm in minority here, but to me, it looks a lot better in "after" photos. In my opinion, it looks like F10 should great looking vehicle, not "trying too hard".

So just got done slapping my OEM 356's back on but since it's dark outside here's what it looks like. I dropped the front 1/2" and 3/4" in the rear. I'll take some daylight pictures tomorrow

Drop that bitch back down, you can always bring it back up for dealer bullshit and maintenance stuff. I'm really leaning towards getting 21's too. These are what I can get for a good deal since forgestar fucked me on my rear offsets.

AHH seeing those make me realize how good 21s look. Dang. I like the drop though, just miss the bronze.

Yeah, 21's fit the F10 very well. There's quite a few M5's rocking 21's and they look pretty sweet! Just a little more caution on the roads but for the most part because there's less sidewall on the tires I don't get as much bodyroll going into corners or 360' on/off ramps. I hit those pretty hard without breaking traction

don't know? i'm assuming a 2 week turn around? i'll find out once i get confirmation of exactly how long it takes. i think there's a couple parties involved. Alpho who makes the wheel and who will take the wheel apart and i think there's a 2nd company who actually paints the wheels...i think? those Niche's are pretty sweet lookin' and that satin black is pimp!
