Would love to get feedback from P3D+ owners with either Unplugged Performance Mild or TSportline 1" lowering springs installed compared with their stock springs. Pics too, please. Thank you!

Wait. So all the lowered ones with red calipers I’m seeing on all these threads are fake-me-out P3D+? Waaahhhh??
depends on how low you go, the T sports are only 1” on the P3D that already has a ton of wheel gapI'd say lowering springs are more "fast and furious" than actual adjustable coilovers. With just lowering springs you'll be hitting the bump stops a lot more often.

I was referring to suspension travel not fender gap. All lowering springs do is alter the suspension geometry by reducing how far it can compress before hitting the rubber bump stops, which can be quite jarring and put a lot of stress on the frame of the vehicle. This is what the civics and "ricers" often do because it's easy and cheap, which someone above was incorrectly referring to.depends on how low you go, the T sports are only 1” on the P3D that already has a ton of wheel gap

Adjustable coilovers allow you to adjust ride height while still maintaining the same range of suspension travel (or sometimes more if the fender clearance allows, such as with MPP coilovers). In many higher end coilovers, you can have both adjustable rebound and dampening control. In the instance of Mountain Pass, their adjustment range actually goes from more comfortable than OEM, to near race car level stiffness. You won't find many lowering springs on high end performance cars, or at least not with anyone who is looking for actual performance increase.
so i’m not looking for any performance at all, i just want the asthetics of lowering springs...but i don’t want to compromise the fantastic ride of my P3D+ nor do i want to damage/hurt my car. my understanding from T sport was I’m the perfect candidate for their non-aggressive lowering springs. your reply is concerning me.
What @kbecks13 said is correct. Lowering springs are fine for the majority of normal driving if you're just looking for aesthetics to remove the large fender gap, that's essentially exactly why they exist. It only becomes an issue when people buy them thinking they're improving their car's handling and can go to the track or drive through a ton of rough roads with them. From what you said, it sounds like you made the right choice for your needs.so i’m not looking for any performance at all, i just want the asthetics of lowering springs...but i don’t want to compromise the fantastic ride of my P3D+ nor do i want to damage/hurt my car. my understanding from T sport was I’m the perfect candidate for their non-aggressive lowering springs. your reply is concerning me.

From what I've read, the MPP coilovers are able to be adjusted to be softer than stock.I really love the ride quality of the stock setup. Could you adjust the coilover dampers to get the ride quality to be close to stock with 1/2" drop? Coilover sounds fun.
Any P3D+ owners got their UP lowering springs yet?
