After a week drive, I myself found the GF to be bumpy and to lower the front more than specified (5mn rather than 3.5mn), so I reinstalled the original in front and left the GF at the back with a nice 3.xmn drop.

yeah the NF has a smooth ride with a small drop probably about an inch, i want a lower ride probaly like half inch between the fender and tyre on the rear.
how low is the GF is like a finger between front fender and wheel?

Yes, the result of the drop for both front and rear is about an inch space between the tire and fender. I found the ride a bit harsh with the original 185x55, but I really liked the drop. A week later I installed much wider tires, 225x50... really mean looking. But the ride became bouncy and I got lots of rubbing.
Then winter was coming... so after one month of unsatisfaction with this "wide tire and lo-ride" combination, I traded to winter tires 185x55 and reinstalled the original springs in front and kept the GF in the back. And guess what? It does not look awkward. I like the look enough that I may keep it this way even after the snow season is gone.
I am also considering cutting the original rear springs (suspension quality not being as critical at the rear) and selling all 4 GF210 springs. I will find out if this is an option on next wednesday .

Sorry, no pics! And the rims are the original USDM Sport equiped rims:the AVID T4 225x50R15 size fits right within the limits for these rims wideness wich is 6 inches
You may check this chart : http://www.pneusyokohama.ca/staticpa...p?tire=avid_t4
And after using the original springs, original Sports rims and the extra wide tires for about 2 weeks, I confirm there is hardly any rubbing (After I bent the inner lip of the front fenders inward just a bit).
