I've seen the CF one in person, didn't really like it. The CF piece just looked like it was stuck on there. The A-Spec is nice though, i'd rock that over the CF one, but I still want something more like the one in the M3 lol

Do it soon! Hahaha.
After I dropped my car, I look back at the stock height.
WOW did it look retarded. LOL

if you do TEIN SS, then you can raise it for the winter, do it, you'll love it. EDFC is the icing on the cake.
Regarding the pics, they are ok, but the problem is:
1. you are too close to the car, and your cropping the bumpers off.
2. be a little creative, crouch down or raise the camera above your head to shoot,
3. and step back then zoom with the zoom feature to frame the car without cutting it off. That also gets rid of the perspective.
4. Finally, get the car positioned with the sun, your front end needs the sun to be in front of it, since its so blacked out, follow these tips, and I guarentee they pics to be 100x times better.

If you really need to do the break job I would do it first. Safety always must come first. If you still have some life left on the pad/rotors and are just looking to upgrade I would go for the drop. As rondog said it, you can easily raise your ride for winter and plus i'm assuming you can still ride with a drop when the whether isn't bad out bc of the edfc unit.

I ordered the rotors last night and the pads will be here any day.
I am formulating a plan to get both (incl drop)! Stay tuned!

Trust me, it only looks high in pics. When I had my TL on 19's with no drop, most people couldn't even tell. Several times, I was asked if I was running lowering springs lol! But looking back at my old pics, I couldn't believe how different it looks. Handling difference is night and day as well, I can take some sick turns with almost no body roll 
Sometimes I forget this is a 4DR mid luxury sedan, but if you're not too careful and get too cocky around the turns, it'll deff remind you.
