I've been looking at sets of these on Rakuten. Does anyone here have any experience with them? The intention is to get around a 25-30mm drop in ride height without needing a kidney belt or feeling like I'm going to bounce out of my seat every time I drive. I know we're talking two very different levels of suspension upgrades, but I'm comparing this with buying coilovers. I'd had a bad experience in the past when buying coilovers for a previous car, only to find after pulling out the coilovers and swapping to different springs on the standard shocks that the latter was certainly a better choice! Thanks in advance, fellow Copen-family!
I went with Take Off lowering springs. There was slight drop and they work well with factory dampers. I put an order for a full Showa suspension kit with Jesse Streeter a while back. I gave up after waiting over 3 months for the order to be fulfilled...
Ah, no worries. I ended up ordering them anyway. There's a guy selling a Copen on Gumtree that used the same springs and the ride height looks pretty spot on. I don't need it dropped on its frame, but I'd love to get rid of the 4WD look!

So, the springs are in and boy does it look and handle a lot better! I figured it would be worth posting a before and after shot so that there's a reference point for anyone else considering this kit.
