Interesting couple of question:
  1. How long did you drive the car before fitting the springs.
  2. How much did it lower your car.
  3. How do you feel it affected the DD riding of the car as opposed to stock spring.

I know that ride quality is somewhat subjective and after a while of driving in a lowered car you adapt. However based on your posts and annual mileage I would suspect we have the same preferences when it comes to lowering the vehicle.

I like the slightly lower look but prefer the stock spring rates etc for normal commute and DD driving . Have no intention of racing the car, might pop into a couple of auto cross events but that would be no more than a couple of times. (I'm too old to care that some millennial+ is faster round a track)
