Thank you for the info. You are correct, nothing out yet in the way of Adjustables so I hear. Not sure why it's taking so long but it will just make me appreciate the ride that much more.

I think if appearance is all you're concerned with, then a different drop front and rear is the way to go. The front wheel gap really is too much. BUT, I'd be concerned about screwing up the stellar handling of the '8 as it comes from the factory. It might be especially bad if you mix spring manufacturers and spring rates, too.

Regardless, dunno if a half inch difference between the front and rear would make that much of a difference in handling or not, and I suspect the only way we'll ever know is if someone tries it. I'm personally thinking about getting a set of the adjustable JIC coilovers, and if I do, this'll be the first thing I try.

What size tire did you put on the 8.5 & 9.5s, and what are the offsets you used?
