Alright Im in love with the way this F10 looks with my rims. Should I go lower to get that look or keep my current stance for the good functionality it provides for everyday driving? Thinking a 1/4 inch drop might even do it. This F10 non M kit might look to low with the M kit installed. Any input would help as far as lower only front or back, etc. Thanks

All right just finished turning all four coils by two to three full turns. Might not be much maybe a 1/4 of an inch but Im going on a drive to see how it looks after settling in. Plan on turning them another two to three turns tomorrow morning if they need it. Hopefully the ride won't become too stiff.

I personally think that looks perfect. Can't all be form if it can't function.
