Just for clarification, people are seeing about 3/4 in drop over M Sport Springs and not the standard springs?

I reached out to Dinan and one of my local shops and both stated the provided info on the amount of drop is based on the standard springs and they didn't know for sure what the difference would be from M Sport which is already lower than the standard suspension. I'm considering the Dinan springs, but really don't want my car to get much lower than it is stock on the M Sport suspension.

It definitely improves the handling without sacrificing ride quality, the main reason I chose them. BUT....I'm already looking into a pair of Bilstein B6 dampers as I can feel a tad more slush than i prefer up front. They are great for the money though 💰!

Thanks.

I have the adaptive suspension and got the Shockware mod Moday. I'm so happy with it, I'm starting to think about the matching springs (and maybe bump stops) as the next step.

My only concern at this point is the lowering. My 435 doesn't have a lot of clearance now, and I'm not sure if I want to reduce it even more...even if it is only 3/4 inch. Is it wrong to assume the 3/4 drop is for a RWD car and not AWD? All of the variables makes it hard to get a good idea of second-order changes beyond ride quality improvement.
