At the end of the day if you're worried about clearance and damage - don't drop it. However, a lot of us are dropped without any issues or damage.Originally Posted by fusionnrg
...will the car look weird if not dropped? i would think it will look the same since the circumference is same as stock so the clearance between the wheel and the fender will remain the same?
And to answer your above question, when you lower the car it reduces the fender gap (as our bro toga demonstrated by using an excellent visual below), sice the circumfrance of the tire stays the same (ie, it is not being reduced) it will 'fill' the gap after the drop.
At the end of the day, it's your choice but if you ask me, drop it. Some drive luxury touring cars to improve their chances at landing something with very little gap - why drive a car that advertises that you don't mind it...?
