Mine is pearl too...just said white for simplicity :-)
The Fsports drop 1" front and back and the spring rate is 20% stiffer than stock.
The NF210 drop is 1.1" front and 0.8" back and the spring rate is 5% stiffer than stock. My NF210 drop is very mild and perfectly balanced. The fsport don't produce a perfectly even gap (stock is uneven, and the springs drop same front and back).
I researched this to death before I did mine, and the majority are happy with the NF210s and the others who did the fsports are mostly unhappy (uneven drop and very stiff ride).

Look like it need to be recalibrate. It can be done easily by holding the button and just let it cycle through. When it stop, that's when the calibration is done. Than open should open and close should close. This happen when the vehicle lost power. I had to do the same when I replace my battery. Thanks to a thread on here that I learn this calibration.

Nice pick up. The ML speakers are 'ok' but the bass could use a little more bump and crispness between the mids and the lows. I'm considering swapping out the existing sub(s) and putting an aftermarket 8" or 10" in place of it, but haven 't decided on what brand...and how easy it is to do. Congrats!

I wouldn't mind changing out the speakers. Do you which will work without adding an amp? I would like to do a direct swap. I really need to get my iPhone adapter because I'm using a cassette tape adapter....horrible lol.

One of the options the new amp brings is to get improved bass quality from the existing subwoofer. Try that first, as it may do the job for you as it did for me. Then if you decide to go for the new sub, all the electronics are ready to go.

The ML sub is an odd 14-ohm unit. If you want to drive a new subwoofer, you will probably want to use a separate amp. I show how to connect a sub amp to the ML system in the "Kicker" link in my sig.
