There's not much they've done to that that I like, and I'm not even 30 yet. The AMG-style wheels, the matte paint, the hi-vis details... don't like any of it. It's also too low for my taste.

I'm well over 30 but also agree that's far too Max Power. Lowering is good but when the tops of the tyres vanish from view then it's too low & likely impractical for UK roads.

Mike this seems to have similar stance to yours , lower at front than rear in same proportions, and not a PE.

Sorry just woke from my afternoon nap to find, yet again, Mike encouraging the youngsters in this dangerous activity. If tyres were meant to be above the arch level... well we'd all be driving Citroens.

The RS6 front wheel isn't right for me. Rear is just a few mm to close the top.

For me - if I was ever to lower a car then this is about where I would go:

I think the M4 looks perfect. The RS6 too low-but if it drove past me I would still look and smile.

Not a c7 but this is mine with a 20mm drop on H&R's with 10mm spacers, for me it's perfect but we all like different looks

That looks the dogs. To my untrained eye very similar stance to the M4 (and on a classier car).

That M4 is Champs from M3cutters-lovely car-guy for Aberdeen way RoryBeanz has similar but trumps it with his Akra zorst
Lovely though.
Just a pity they don't work in the wet-thats why I sold mine.

I am well aware I am an old fart but this BMW demonstrates - perfectly - the golden rule of car lowering: you should still be able to see the top of the tyres If you want to avoid the Max Power look.
But if you like Max Power ....
