So I can comment on this.
With the H&R springs I have not bottomed out or rubbed once.
My Turbo does not have FAL (per the build sheet I downloaded).
I ALWAYS back into every parking spot. I can never tell how close my front end is to anything (other than the parking sensor going off) but I never want to chance it.
I also angle over all challenging driveways and parking lot slow down humps.
Other than that I drive with an eye out for bad holes (not many here in AZ) but then again I did this with every nice car I owned.
Just my 2 Cents

The hood came off a 2018 3RS that came with a painted carbon fiber hood from factory. The owner had ordered the car with an exposed carbon fiber hood(back ordered).

Ordered a new tail light and discovered the entire wing assembly has to be taken apart to replace it.

Yay!

Easy peasy once you've done it a bunch of times.

Indeed, however, I have been known to cause immense amounts of damage to body bits with my huge meat hooks and knuckle dragging attitude of 'Oh, that should come off with a little applied force...'

Great wheels - I love my wheels (HRE's) but every time I see the BBS FiR's - I question whether I got the right wheels

As to dropping my car - I also haven't done so. I feel that the TT for me is an around town car and with the bump's etc. in LA - I don't have to worry too much. Even my old Carrera S with SPASM was more of a scraper and the Lambo (lets not talk about that). The DSC while not a ride height adjustment - improved the ride - so for right now, I am good.

Yeah, I think I said the same thing a month ago.. 😁 Now that it's done, not sure I could go back. Had I not been able to do it myself, not sure I would have paid to have done. Found the springs for about $260 so I think the total cost was about $325 and 8 hours time. I think I could cut that down to 5-6 the second time. Being a cab adds an extra hour or more.

You guys aren't old; you're all driving turbos...

Short of having a fluffy around, turbos are the fountain of youth...

I did H&R as well. No rubbing and very happy with the stance. No FAL either.
