Default what 20'' wheel on the stratus gray

black pack

i have black propellor 19''

if i upgrade i like

cyclone 20'' gloss black or (better) gyrodyne with his particular colour , so if i put gyrodyne not all total black but think improve the look and more sporty

spacers 15'' front and rear

lowering IF i go (because today i hurt a little little the down front lip (the piece of plastic) i think i improve the look with spacers and 20''

or add eibach springs that low only 15mm front 25 mm rear

best solution for me , because of italian city roads

Are you sure Eibach do lowering springs for the F-Type?
I know they do them for the XF, but I've never heard of Eibachs for the F-Type.
For the F-Type I know of Velocity AP, H&R and Mina Gallery, and one or two coil-over kits, but that's it.

I stand corrected!

Although 15 mm drop front and 25 mm rear seems a bit strange, many owners complain about the front already sitting too high compared to the rear and this would just make it worse. Also the Eibach springs for the XF are 30 mm drop on the front and 25 mm on the rear.

+1. The OEM stance is a California rake. Better fuel economy since it's always pointed downhill.
In my case, the H&Rs dropped the front 1.25" and the rear 1.5". Actually minimizes the reduction in ground clearance at the front lip, and the car is nicely leveled.

Yeah I wasn't expecting to sell the car, so had them done and was really happy with the results - then I went and test drove an SVR, that was a very expensive test drive

You can run any of the OEM 20" wheels (gyrondyne included) with 15mm spacers and either the Velocity or H&R springs without rub assuming you stay with 295 rear tires.

Dave-SW1, is that just the lighting or do you guys get a different color for your stratus grey? My stratus grey looks pretty close to black in most situations...
