okay sweet. im not for slamming the car but a little bit lower would help clean the car up, i like the idea of 1 inch and would be ideal but if some up coming car shows this summer im gonna be on the lookout for anyone with the RSR for comparison. although i need to find out if my car in fact is lower already cause every picture i see of a stock car seems to be higher looking than mine

I like lowering my cars.
been doing it for 21+ years. slammed 89 civic in high school springs on a 240sx T3 style coils on my first AE86 JIC coilovers on S14 silvia (replaced with CST zero 1 due to blown JIC's) 98 Camaro on strano springs and koni yellows AE86 no.2 with prototype powered by MAX coilovers (ryan litterals old car) i did drive a 2015 accord sport for a while on stock suspension. just to see if i could. loved it for all 3 years of the lease. but i was ready for a low coupe with a clutch pedal once again. and now my FRS has powered by MAX (in sig below) love lowering my cars. I did peel my front bumper off my S14 once going up a driveway like the vid lol but its worth it IMO (it was ziptied on and already crunched from a track injury). I do get my cars to the track (only exception was the civic) so its not 100% cosmetic. my wife doesn't understand why I have to do it, but I tell her I don't understand why she needs 20 pairs of jeans. I also took her grand Cherokee at an angle over a speed bump once. i noticed i was doing it, ever since then i don't even slow down. wheel gap doesn't bother me on that though. i understand that certain cars are for certain things. i actually wouldnt mind having an old Cherokee to go wheeling in. that said, i don't hate when i see slammed silverados either. however i can't figure out this whole "donk" thing for the life of me. but, like somebody else said earlier, "to each their own". wheel gap on factory cars i understand for the mass market, people will need clearance for common road irregularities, driveways, etc. i choose to eliminate wheel gap on mine for a few reasons. function, form, and im just used to it.

Has anyone actually answered the BIG question that has been asked by the OP?

It is barely noticeable after looking carefully side-by-side. I hope handling is better for what it is worth.

The difference is that most of us are enthusiasts and demand more from our cars. The GT86 is a clean slate that needs a few pieces to make perfect. I've always like how most BMW's from the factory seem to have that perfect ride height with not a ton of gap in the wheel well and wheels that fit in. I wish more car companies would do that.
