Default Opinions on my car's stance

I have a 09 535i that was on sport suspension and 20's but I could not live with the soft ride so I upgrade to ST V1's and could not be happier. I had the shop adjust them to their preference but I want some opinions on if I should go lower.

Specs
-09 535i
-Miro 111
20*8.5 e18 - 5mm spacer= 13mm
20*10 e25 - 12mm spacer=13mm

Looks nice. The rears are at a good height and I would maybe drop the front just a tad more Hey I'm shopping for CO's and was wondering compared to the stock sports suspension how are the st's? Does it feel more controlled on the corners but not teeth rattling over bad roads?

I think the stance is fine the way it is, if you go any lower you will probably rub. The car looks good, enjoy it Bro.

Default Things to consider

Couple things to consider...

If you drop it more keep in mind you will eventually run out of adjustment for the alignment. Turner sells a camber kit thats another 400bux plus alignment.

Second, when u need new tires go for the same size in a falken 452 they are narrower and angled sidewalls so you'll clear just fine.

These feel almost just like when I have my oem wheels with the heavy runflats on sport suspension as far as the harshness.

It does feel much more tidy in the corner's and not teeth rattling at all.
