As a back story, I've never had any coilovers installed on any car and this is my first experience owning one let alone, driving one. This was also the most expensive modification I've ever done to any cars I've owned. Having owned and modified a GTI and Focus ST, I definitely learned the importance of high quality parts, labor/installation and R&D.
Originally, I wanted to just lower the car with springs for my SR+ and have done enough research to take everyone's word for it. When I ordered the springs through UP, it was backordered and did not mind the waiting time. After a long 3 month wait, I reconsidered everything and ultimately went for the coilovers. Fast forward last week, I had it installed and couldn't be any happier with the service and product I received. They reached out to me shortly after the install to come in and do another inspection and make sure everything was to my liking. I did point out a couple of things which were addressed in my follow up visit. Thank you to the UP team for making this an exceptional and fun process.
As far as ride quality, the coilovers, being an aftermarket PERFORMANCE part, will be definitely be much more "harder" or "sportier" than factory. I actually have mine set up out of the 32 or 34 clicks, have it set to 5 clicks all the way around and its quite comfortable around town and bumps and imperfections are def. noticeable but nothing crazy.
You will also notice there are Aspira Spacers in the pics- those are 15mm at the front and 20mm at the rear which imo gives the perfect stance with the 19inch factory wheels which I actually like a lot more than some aftermarket options.
