Lowered on stock shocks

So who has tried super sports on stock struts and shocks?

Stock MSport/Sport struts? Or non-line/luxury/modern struts?

Your ride will may be good, but it will likely only be good for a short period of time. Firmer spring rates will shorten the life of your OE shocks.

Why not get a matched set such as the M Performance Suspension Kit?

What is that? Sounds expensive.

On stock M Sport shocks and all, before they settled the comfort was same as stock. Now it's stiff but not too harsh unless you hit a serious bump

Drop wasn't as low as I expected. But there's already signs of wear on the top shock hat

I've put close to 2k miles on the springs with the M sport shocks. However San Francisco has really bad roads. Pot holes everywhere and uneven pavement.

You got any full car pics to show the drop?
