Will stand corrected if wrong.

Mine is lowered (as i run 22" wheels & it looks like its on stilts at standard ride hight)... Lowered using the IID tool... On my last three FF's i have lowered them without adverse tyre wear! I get the geometry checked when i fit new tyres anyhow

Next time you have a FF on a geometry machine, ask the operator to drop the car to access height and see how little the geometry changes!

It's not as obvious. It will hunker down over 100 mph. (According to manual, NOT personal experience!!

I dropped my 2002 model by 20mm using the IID tool over a year ago and can report no problems whatsoever, all tyres wearing evenly and very happy.

I do lock the height if venturing onto fast roads as mine is a 2002 model it drops to motorway height once driven above 60mph for a mile or so, and think that added to the 20mm already lowered that maybe too low for comfort.

I lowered my 2008 car by 20mm the day I got it, 2 1/2 years later, there's no sign of adverse tyre wear.
And on that topic, I'm still amazed that there seems to be very little tyre wear at all  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

If you don't have enough tyre wear you obviously don't drive it hard enough guys

Looks like you have your answer, the 20 mm doesn't seem to make a lot of difference according to the gentlemen that have tried and tested it.

As for the highway lowering mode, I also remember it was removed around 2005/2006. The MY 2006 SC has a different suspension set up anyway if I remember correctly. Not sure about the TDV8s though. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Thanks to all for replies 20mm drop it is then, anyone want to buy some bricks

Does changing ride height using IID also alter the height when in Tight Tolerance Mode (as it has to be to set alignment, post-06MY)?

As far as I'm aware (and Patrick from GAP would be a better person to answer this) tight tolerance is set where the vehicle suspensions height is at time of setting...
