Springs
Are there any springs available to lower the car that don't require the adaptive suspension option? I found one from H&R but I need to have the adaptive option checked to use it. Let me know if you guys have seen/heard of any out there!

Car has 5" of ground clearance, why would you want to lower it?

But from my previous experience, the suspension sock absorption component will die early than usual after using this type of spring. So I am still thinking!

Was just wondering what the advantage is or is it cosmetic? Reason I asked was the cars factory ground clearance vs speed bumps.
The Cobra is suspension designed to have variable ride heights & preserve wheel travel. Track day its set at 3-7/8" but it will scrape on most speed bumps. Street setting is F4" & R4-1/4" & its good to go even with two in the car.

The AC Schnitzer springs give the car a nice drop. Here's mine with the springs and spacers (F15mm/R18mm).

H&R springs in mine.
Absolutely love them! It handles so much better and the ride is really nice and soft. I was expecting them to be really stiff but they're great! Highly recommended |

I am running 12mm front and rear. You could easily go more aggressive but I didn't want to damage the paint with stone chips |

ACS always make great springs, my only comment based on the picture above from OldM3 is the rear suspension looks a lot lower than the front. Personally I prefer the same arch gap front and rear, like H&R, although it's a little low for me.
Eibach may be the best choice at 20mm all round. |

Went with ACS springs. Very happy with them. Lowered the car approximately 13 mm. Handles much, much better and still quite comfortable. Spacers as well 12/15
