Looks really good!

Did you have any reverse rake before the install?
If you did, the springs seem to have taken care of that!?

What size rims are you running? I bought 20in and l'm a bit worried about the 1.6in drop.

I stuck with the OEM 19's. 20's definitely would've looked more aggressive but I liked how the 19's rode. The rake has gotten better once the springs have settled but there is still a bit of a rake. From what I know there is always a bit of a reverse rake.

In terms of drive modes, my car didn't have the adaptive suspension so it's purely mechanical, so no change whatsoever. Ride quality is almost identical to OEM so I'm very happy with it.

Thanks for the feedback Starky.

Will still be waiting on the adjustable MSS kit then.

I can definitely tell an increase in road noise on rougher surfaces with the 20in wheels, but I can live with that.
However, I did notice some noise coming from the front speaker boxes on rough road sections which goes away if I put my hand down. Don't think this is an issue coming from the 20in wheels though as I noticed it on a stock loaner, too.

Will get it checked out next time I'm due for service.
