Agree. I am pleasantly surprised as well with the drop. I think the stance looks perfect.
One thing I noticed while detailing yesterday was how perfect the front wheels and tires fit the front wheel well. There is a mm or 2 of clearance with the lining when the wheel is turned. Never have heard the front rub yet despite the minimal clearance.

Finally finished and really happy with the outcome. Thanks to Paul at Need4Speed and Jeff Tsai for helping with so much with the wheels and springs. Both of these guys are awesome. I am having no rubbing issues whatsoever and I am shocked at how good the ride is on the Tanabe springs. It feels like stock and I wasn't expecting that - it might be 5% rougher than stock, but it's damn close and I'm not even sure if there is a difference.

Have you (or anyone running an AWD F Sport) had any issues with Tanabe NF210s???? I really want to lower mine but keep the factory rims and tires for now. Seems the Tanabe have the best ride comfort?

That drop and wheel setup looks good for a daily driver with minimal headache to drive. 
I'm still on the fence on the Tanabe springs vs RSR Down springs. The RSR Super Down springs might be too low which I'm trying to avoid. My 2IS was a headache and chore to drive even though it was on coilovers but it looked so good I refused to raise it up
.
If somebody can chime in on the order from lowest to highest drop springs. The Tanabe NF210, RSR Down and Super Down springs, Swift, etc. Thanks in advance. I've searched but a lot of peoples' GS's look different even on same spring setup
