Lowered looks good on yours and if the handling is also better, then all the merrier!

You guys rock. Had her lowered. New springs, alignment etc. she’s dropped close to an inch. Worth every nickel to have the wheel well gap filled. My mechanic says we have essentially taken it back to euro spec as God intended.
Bonus, it handles better. I don’t think it’s in my head, she quite literally handles better.

Oh yes the handling is certainly better..
A lot less roll…
