Dropped!

The front camber can just barely be brought back into spec and the rear camber (not adjustable) will fall just slightly out of spec (but is actually a better track spec).

I also think it's only a matter of time before you pay the price. There's no way I'd run an F-Type dropped as much as you guys did around here.

The covers are okay - not perfect but they sure look better than the stock calipers...

Not that you asked any of us to give our opinions of your caliper covers, but yes, please take them off! A cheap and easy spray will look so much better IMO.
The rest of the car looks too good to now have those covers take away from the overall look.

I'm surprised y'all will run with a 'cosmetic' drop that will put the camber out of spec, esp given the cost of tires for these cars.
Adjustable upper arms are usually the solution, but I would think in this case a good fix would be some (drilled for the bolts) aluminum bar stock of a calculated thickness between the body of the car and the suspension members to push things back out to where they belong? Cheap fix I'd think.

On all my other cars, I spent good money on eccentric bushings to get more camber than otherwise available. It improves handling (yes, at the expense of tire wear). My decision to drop the car is far more for the handling (better camber and lower center) than for the esthetics. At a lateral 1g, roll torque is reduced by about 440 ft-lbs with the H&Rs.

Fitment looks absolutely fantastic in that pic. I think it's beautiful.
Sometimes being too concerned about having camber "in-spec" can be over-thinking things. A little extra negative camber often has no impact on tire wear, particularly if you're using high performance tires with a limited life. As long as toe is lined up properly, you'll be fine.
MGP Caliper covers are no bueno, IMO. It's a tacky mod on an otherwise classy car.
