Thanks for the tip. Although I was pretty annoyed initially about it, I haven't noticed it when driving today. With it being very minimal, I would still opt for spacers. Maybe not 15, but 10-12mm. The more aggressive stance + the drop is just

20+ yrs of lowered vehicle ownership so I have a habit of practically stopping prior to a slow approach over speed bumps, steep driveways & changing lanes if I know there is a dip coming. With new vehicles, I also switch the suspension to the stiffest setting (Sport+) before the approach...
If springs were just installed, alignment should be performed.

Thanks for the insight. I will play around with it a bit and try out sport & sport + for the dampers - as I was in comfort mode during my experience.
I actually did my own little test today and cleaned the inside of the fender well lip and took it for a drive. I then began to do the opposite of what we'd normally do; look for bumps, steep driveways, etc. I didn't hear anything and when I arrived back home, the fender well lip was still clean - no residue from the tire coating. This of course was a good sign. I think I'm going to stick with the 12mm for a while as I really like the stance it gives me.
I did not get an alignment as I just had the springs installed yesterday. Since it will be sitting in the garage for the next couple of months (Ohio winters) my plan was to get the alignment early March when I get new tires. In your experience, have you found it best to go with OEM spec for the alignment, even after lowering?
