Very nice IS. A small drop will not hurt anything, with springs just go with a brand you can trust or save for coilovers.

Big rims around here = danger. Our roads are in pretty bad shape and bigger rims is like asking for it if you plan to drive during the winter. I'm on the stocker 17"s & I'm already slaloming around the plethora of holes, but sometimes the holes are unavoidable and bigger rims + deep hole = bent rim & shreded tire.

I'm looking into powder coating myself to give the illusion.

Thats what I did for my GS and my CLK
