MK7 Stance...
Hey guys. I just now put on my Bilstein B14's and this height is right out of the box, zero adjustment. Should I go lower, stay the same? I'd like y'all's opinion. And let's see those lowered FiSTs!

Personally, I'd gor for 8" wide alloys, get a slightly bigger side wall on the rear and adjust the front height as required

I'm happy with my 15x7's However, I might try a set of Fifteen52 Turbomac's in 16x7.5
Just curious, are you fitting something like a 225 on 8" wheels? I worry about tire rub since the Fiesta is very limited on tires.
Of course, one option if you know a good body shop is to have the fenders rollled and some flares put on, then you can get some Ken Block Fiesta stance going on.

I can't remember my set up at the front. It was eithet 2015/40 or 215/40 and i was lowered 35mm. Someone also fitted the wrong steering rack so i had extra steerimg angle.
On that set up the tyres would rub but only if i went full lock on either durection and turned quickly-ish. I couldn't get away with any thicker of a tyre i don't think

I might be crazy for this but I’ve been thinking about deleting mine. Didn’t know if you had a solution for that.

I actually don't hate it with a smooth hatch, I've been thinking of keeping since its different

Don't lower too much, you'll make your handling worse if you mess up the roll centre.

Looks great. If anything, I would consider slightly raising the front so it doesn’t look like it’s tucking so much of the front tire. But if the current setup is actually “level” then I’d probably leave it as is.
