JCW Dropping JCW with DCC

As long as you're aware you're eliminating most of the compression travel and it'll be riding on the bumpstops, the dampers will be fine, it's not relevant if they're DDC or standard. The car will also not be as composed in bumpy corners since there will be virtually no compression travel.

These might be an option as its only 15-20 mm drop,
Nb they have other ones with a bigger drop, so double check part numbers
I'm considering some for my own car with DDC,
as I'm not keen to pump big cash into coilovers if you cannot change from stock camber

Lowering Springs with DDC
Let's bring this back out again....now that there are a few more years of "testing". Any issues with installing lowering springs on JCW with DDC. I have heard everything from reduced lifespan on the shocks to introduction of bump steer. <---seems unlikely.
What say those who have lowered their JCW...with DDC?

I've got my 16 JCW dropped on NM springs. the car sits nice now, I cut down the front bump stops as suggested in the instructions, but didnt have time to cut down the rears. so far no issues and not riding on the stops. DDC still works great. Mid mode is like sport was, and sport is now more of a sport plus. Bump steer is unchanged, but handling is way better. better road feel as well. only time will tell how the shocks hold up. I got my car in april with 20K km on it, now sitting at 45K km. when they go, Ill throw yellows in.
