    New ADV.1 Wheels - Should I lower?

    I'm going back and forth about lowering with some H&R. All my past cars have been dropped. The current stance is fine but I know it can look even better!

    OK so went ahead and dropped the car. It's lower than what I expected but I think it looks great!

    stance is one thing performance is another. I know that we had this conversation in my thread regarding my HRE's. I think it looks great!! However, if you do decide to lower the car please tell me the pro's and cons of the install. cheers!!

    Your car looks awesome with those wheels. For some reason R8s look good to me at stock ride height.

    Silver is nice too, but I personally like the contrast of black/white

    Thank you!
    I agree stock is nice. But a little lower is even nicer and more aggressive lol Ordering springs soon.
