Look at the spring/suspension of a Lotus Evora 400/410/430. You will be surprised.
Put them back on!!!

Just curious why the change from Hyperco to Swift springs? I know you wanted a little stiffer than the spring rate that was to be stock but was there not an equivelent spring from Hyperco or was it decided the Swift spring is superior for you application?
I'm actually running MUCH stiffer than stock, Hyperco and Swift are pretty similar and i think it was likely a price/availability decision to go with Swift for these. This is also a prototype, so the specifics might change before they become available for general purchase.
Ah thats just an old photo, the coilovers are very much installed on the car and performed incredibly at Tesla Corsa today. Very little body roll, yet i can hit curbs hard without upsetting the car.

Great work out there today. Didn't get to introduce myself, because you were always going so fast lol.
Anyone who installed MPP coilovers on RWD with stock aeros list the advantages over stock coilovers?
Any benefit in range?
Ride comfort has dramatic increase? Is it like Benz S class or E class shocks?
Just trying to understand the reasons to switch other than looks and lowering fender gaps.
Thanks in advance.

Either i just had some crazy deja vu or i've seen this question posted somewhere else before...
Lowering a car is going to give slight efficiency improvements, but really not that much. Could easily be offset by your driving style.
Not sure about the MPP coilovers, but with UP yes you will have an increase in comfort. Not sure how that compared to a Merc, but it's better than stock.
Most of the reason for switching is to lower the car without hurting ride quality and to get a sportier feel/less body roll in turns.

MPP doesn't make lowering springs, so i'm not sure how you could compare them? You may be confusing lowering springs with coilovers.
Lowering springs are definitely a cheaper option for lowering you car and they will always result in a not great ride comfort wise, but you save a good bit of money.
You didn't read my post properly then. My question is about MPP coliovers and you offered UP lowering springs. My response to that was UP lowering springs ride comfort is not great based on reviews I read here.
Now my question is MPP coilovers whoever installed are they getting better comfort than stock? Can you rate it against BMW 5 series or Benz E class sedans in terms of comfort?
My stock ride coming from BMW 5 series is not great which is why I posted this question to people who own comfort coilovers from MPP.
Again I don't want UP lowering coils

Now that I see your signature, you have UP coilovers. How do you compare it against stock shocks? Strictly for everyday street driver.
What's your ride height reduction with the coilovers?
From what I read above you brought up UP moderate lowering springs, not Kbecks. His response was pretty clearly in regards to coilovers.
But any way I just installed the UP moderates last weekend. They are actually a very good ride, similar to stock in comfort but tight in corners. The only problems are 1- noise: I tried for days to get rid of the clunking over bumps/potholes/etc. I was able to reduce it a bit but not cure the 'clunk clunk' completely.
And 2: reverse rake. Though there are a lot of pictures on their site where no rake is evident, pretty clearly on my car and a few others in the community there is. Also seems theres a lot of variance in how much they will lower from car-to-car.
Mine only lowered about 1". My car on the left (moderate) compared to milds from their website on the right (both cars on stock 18s). Washed the color out so the wheel gap is a little easier to see.

Yep that was my confusion didn’t realize he was talking about UP coilovers.
UP coilovers are nice but expensive than MPP comfort Coilovers. So far not able to get good review from regular street drivers.
