Anyone using MSS adjustable springs?

I’m considering a little lowering, and came across these adjustable springs from MSS. They work with OEM shocks and struts so you don’t need to mess with turning off your EDC.



Has anyone tried these? What results did you get? Would you recommend?

Update. I read that there was some issue with these not lowering as much as stated, but that they were good quality springs. As they are almost as much as coilovers, I decided to go with the Eibach springs for the short term and then probably KW coilovers next year.

What I’ve read says H&R springs lower a bit more than the Eibach set, but that the ride is a bit stiffer. I’m already adding the NM rear sway bar (thanks @KindaCoolDad), so I’m taking a more cautious approach to a daily driver that other people ride in.

A note on the Eibach springs, the part number is ‎E10-20-034-01-22.

Lots of people with Audi TTs with magride (adaptive) suspension have gone with MSS springs and for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Unlike other springs which don't pair very well with the adaptive suspension (think jittery, and too low) these seem to work. I believe they are made by Eibach, btw. Update: Just did some googling and sure enough, they're made by Eibach. There's a nice FAQ here https://ind-distribution.com/blogs/n...ach-suspension

Yep, made by eibach for them and MSS make the pirch, Eibach has cut back the MINI catalog lately and focused on Domestics for their normal line. Now they just have springs, lots of the coilovers and springs are now nla. E10-20-034-01-22 is nla and lucky you got one of them in stock.

H&R has good coverage and so does AST suspension (MINI owner runs its) if you are looking for options.
