The drop you have looks good and gives plenty of clearance for daily driving. I’m on coilovers with no gap and sometimes think about raising it up a bit. It gets tiring having 3 inches of clearance at my front lip.

Thanks everyone! I am liking the drop more and more everyday. I thought the front end was a little too high at first but now I don't think I would want it any lower. It grew on me.

MGM was not my first choice but with the shrinking inventory of 2018s I went for it. I think after getting the ceramic coat with a few extra layers of ceramic light it really brought out the shine on the color.

Not only that, I'm always having to go through different entrances in shopping centers cause there are some entrances where I'll scrape, possibly rip something.

The first F80 I ever saw back in 2015 was MGM. For some reason, it stuck with me how amazing that car was. So when I was looking, I lucked into a 2018 MGM 6MT. I'm still amazed how great the car looks.

Looks great! Hows the clearance between the tires and the fender? Any issues rubbing when turning or over bumps?

6MT!!! Mine is a 6MT too. As soon as I drove it I was sold. Hadn't driven a manual since my Integra GSR days which was in the late 90s lol. Missed having a manual and glad I got the opportunity to buy one again.

Thanks! No rubbing at all and I was loaded with 4 people in the car the other day. Have cranked the wheel for some u-turns and haven't had any issues. The only thing I am worried is the front end scraping on really steep driveways. Haven't scraped yet but I can see it happening if im not careful.

Adaptive suspension or now? How's the ride on the springs? Stance is amazing.

Thanks!

I have adaptive suspension. It's one of the reasons I wanted to go with springs rather than coilovers. Retaining the ability to switch between the different modes is nice. The ride is great. I think each settings is just slightly stiffer than stock. The car feels more planted now. Im honestly very satisfied with the drop and the ride quality.
