about the only thing i'd consider are the spacers, but that's getting nitpicky, and only if it wasn't gonna be a PITA

If its a daily driver leave it as is. It looks gorgeous now, why ruin a good thing just for a super slightly barely noticeable (to the untrained eye) difference.

I think it looks great the way it is. More isn't always better. Don't flame me guys.

Remember,
when your driving the car sits a little lower because of your weight/passenger and thats the time it should really look perfect.

I would also be concerned with any rubbing or hard steering like a 180 in a parking lot

Just drop it another inch, slap some spacers on it & call it a day!!

Either that or keep comparing your car to the F10 for the rest of your life, thinking what it could've looked like. Lol

Just go for it!
