I haven't lowered my new M3C yet because I'm terrified of that experience again with lowering springs; adjustable or not. Was my experience just unlucky, or is there a reason I experienced that back then and you all are not now?
I am thoroughly impressed with MSS and this chassis- the soaking up of the bumps while keeping the suspension taut is excellent. I really think the damper valving married with the linear springs of the MSS HAS are strong. And this is with the drop- 35mm front and 30mm rear. I do have any bump stop issues but you might want to check the suspension section here and read up the MSS Hack that RG Sport has done to increase the front drop (which I have).

I do live where the roads are good though- but where I got it lowered, the roads are shit for sure. I chose the springs not so much for the adjustability but instead the ride quality.
