I'd lower it first. The wheel gap bothers me.

This seems to be a reoccuring theme, and that's what has me thinking. Original plan was wheels and F-sport springs for the mild drop, but the adjustability seems to be a big factor.

Toooo low for me. I'm looking for a ~1.0-1.2 in drop just to cover SOME gap.

The car looks so much better even with just a mild drop. Also coils feel so much better than the boat like ride of the stock suspension.

Drop always before wheels. 4x4 status is no good.
