On a 2023 Model Y LR 7 seater. I was advised that the "rake" on Eibach springs would be exascerbated on a 7 seater because of the heavier rear end, and Dinan is also made by Eibach, so H&R was one of the only remaining options. I was nervous because of the big drop but turned out to be just right visually and in feel. Front and rear wheel gap is virtually the same at 1 1/2 finger widths (don't have any measurements). Tire is tucked into the wheel arch about an inch horizontally, and I don't care for the hellaflush look at the moment, so not bothering with spacers yet. The springs do not feel that much stiffer/stronger than stock, and is really up to where the shocks are set.
The Koni shocks were initially set to 1 full turn front and rear (out of 2 full turns range). This was a pretty stiff sporty ride. Minimal lean on turns and braking, but bumps were more harsh. Turned the front down to 3/4 from soft, which was still firm but more comfortable. Then down to 1/2 both front and rear, which feels a lot better as a compromise of comfort and sportiness. I also tried full soft on the front, which was really floaty and felt close to stock. At any setting higher than full soft, there is much less floatiness and oscillation than stock. Bumps are muted and rebound (oscillations) is more controlled, leading to less motion sickness. It doesn't eliminate the feel of road imperfections but does smooth out the impact.
Alignment doesn't seem that bad. Toe is close to zero all around. -1.4 camber front left, -0.8 camber front right, -2 camber each rear left and right.
For my goal of improving comfort and sportiness I would give it a totally subjective 30-40% improvement and "worth it."
