Yes drop looks perfect. Very very happy with the outcome. No scraping on bumps or driveways. There is one dip I now slow down for on a street I take daily as if I dont I think I scrape the small flaps in front of the tires and not anything on the underside of the car. Anything else is normal. The ride hasn't suffered in my opinion either after about a week or 2 of settling. My wife didn't even notice it

Awesome! Do you feel that your cornering improved from the springs?

Hmmm...less floaty for sure but I truly only had the car for a couple weeks before I lowered it, so I didnt know it well enough to compare.

Its been 7 months and I still love the look and the ride. I did manage to lightly scuff the wrap on my front lip on a high parking stop (forgot to back in) and i do have a tiny rubbing casualty from big dips BUT it is super minimal and worth it.

So after 7 months, how's the handling, cornering, feedback and high speed cruising? Just wanna know if lowering them by 1 inch would make a big difference in handling. Thanks in advance!

I lowered it and put on the widers tires so woon after buying it that i really donr recall what stock felt like. I always ride in Sport mode now and even with guests in the car I never hear anything about the ride being too stiff but when i drive hard I can enjoy it even when I get sideways some. Id say the NF210 is a no brainer for looks alone and I compare the feel of it to the Sport Plus ride.
