Looks cool. What springs? How much drop from the sport stance? Cost? Installer? Tires? Rim size/Manufacturer/model?

Car looks aggressive and takes away the gap even with the sport package.
I am assuming it lowered 1.2" in front and an 1" in the back.

Car looks great, great job.

Since the tires are plus 2 from the sport stock 18's and the springs lower it. Is there a problem with the steering geometry? Handling better? How does the active steering feel? Any different?

It will be interesting to see how things work out with your set up over the next couple of years.
