Looking for help on lowering of mu C43 sedan

I was advised to post here. The link is to my other thread and spells out my questions to date.

I am a newbie so be gentle.

I have H&R VTF Springs on my 43. Very happy with them. I purposely went with height adjustable springs to retain my electronic dampening.
Yes they ride a little stiffer, but that comes without question seeing as you're already wanting to lower your vehicle.

Nice to be able to adjust the height if necessary. I'm sure KW HAS is equally as good if not better. Don't really think you can go wrong with either option.

I have to say the KW guy I contacted was pretty much worthless. Told me it would be bad to buy the HRS but woild not explain why just sent me a stupid link to the KW sepcs which I already saw.

Lowered the car and then proceeded to "send it" at the track on Saturday. In sport+ mode it wasn't as firm as I was expecting, and for city driving was very close to OEM. Barely noticeable which is nice as my previous lowered vehicles were teeth chattering.

Thanks for posting I was waiting for this.

Where did you buy them and what was the price? How much did you lower it?
