Default Springs?

Hi Folks -

Quick question...anyone tried using springs w/ DRC suspension to achieve a lowered ride height? I don't want the car to appear "slammed", but I wouldn't mind losing .75 - 1" between wheel well and tire.

I like the ability to switch in and out of sport mode with the DRC, which is why I don't want to move to coilovers (unless someone can tell me why this would be better). I don't track the car, nor do I ever plan to. Just some sporadic aggressive street driving.

If there is a decent spring, is there any reason this would be terribly bad for the DRC (i.e., being compressed at a different height permanently)?

Appreciate any feedback, especially from those who've done this!

Regards,
Joe

Sure, just get the Euro SuperSport Plus springs. BTW, Sport button doesn't effect the suspension.

On a side note, those who are running the SS springs, are you also running the SS dampers? or have them just on the US spec dampers.... TIA
