Beautiful car. Any difficulties navigating entry / exit parking lot ramps? The front appears to be just a tad too low.

Yes!! Like crazy, lol. I texted my installer the next day and told him I was scraping everything. I'm going to have it raised up slightly in the front this week.

Nice.
I just installed MP HAS on my CS last week and am ordering spacers today, also was going to go with 10/12. I also purchased Tommy L front mud flaps so will install everything together. I am slightly higher than you in the front and lowering the rear a bit to even things out.

Looks really good man. Get some PPF on that front and those rear wheel arches ASAP or there will be some chipping in those areas.

Honestly, it seems ever so slightly less connected to the road and a little more unstable at high speeds, the steering is ever so slightly more numb as well, and maybe it's in my head but it seems like the power doesn't transfer to the rear wheels as immediate as before the drop and spacers..is that even possible? When I say ever so slightly I mean like a 5% variance, it's not significant by any means but it is noticeable. The ride quality is exactly the same as stock, it's not more harsh like I was expecting it to be. I am disappointed I lost a little bit of the ideal handling but now have the look I want. Was it worth the trade off? I'm still debating that, but I have got a lot more head turns and comments with this look vs. stock |

I was cruising at 40mph down the road and heard a loud "pop", I thought something struck under the fender well or maybe the car was settling being new. After I got home that night I noticed the dent. I'm not sure what hit it, but it's deep, when a light is shined from behind the light pierces thorough the dent.

Looking good
Spacers up front will definitely kill some of the steering feel and feedback.

I went 10 F and 12 R on my CS, though stock suspension, and didn't notice any degraded handling feel.
Not to say it hasn't negatively impacted it, but I sure as hell haven't noticed it, and i've done a few spirited long drives. That accident damage looks severe! Very lucky that whatever object hit you (a wrench!), didn't come to the windshield.
