To all with lowering springs on stock shocks. How are they holding up?

Hey guys,

I've been wondering how well the countryman stock shocks hold up with long time usage of aftermarket lowering springs. Can those with this kinda set up provide the following answers?

1) What springs are you using?
2) What is your stock suspension (sport or regular?)
3) Countryman trim (S? All4?)
4) Did you have any issues like clunking noises after installing your springs?
5) How much milage have you now put on your lowering springs with stock shocks setup and are you have any issues now?

Just wanted to have one central place for all this info. Thanks a lot!

I'm curious about this too..

Are you pleased with the result?
How dramatic was the change?
Any regrets?

1) NM Alpha RS
2) Sport
3) All4
4) Zero issue. I think if you have clunking issue is either with bump stops or during install not everything was put in or tighten properly
5) Had it on for like a month or so and then i went with COs. No issue, the NM springs is firmer than OEM sport springs and felt good. Positive upgrade

I have HR springs on non sport shocks for over a year now and no issues.
