Anyone attempted this yet to see what the drop is or how the ride changes? Want a slight drop on my L and thinking this might be a good option, but I'd have to find a M37XS to get the springs off of.

You mean lowering with OEM sport springs? Not sure if I've seen anyone do that yet...

Yeah, was hoping someone had put the Q70S or M37S OEM springs on the Q70L. I'd just have to find the AWD Q70S/M37xS.

I would assume it would be slightly lower and softer than the Q70S vs Q70 with the extra weight of the L. Don't remember what the stock height difference is on the S vs the non-S.

There are a few on the RS-R Down springs but that might be too low for me.

Fair point, I neglected to mentioned lowering springs. I was more so meaning I doubt anyone has lowered their rides on OEM springs.

I know you're concerned about being too low why not just get coils and not slam the car? This way you can dial in the height you want without the gamble of going OEM but not knowing how it will turn out?

Cost would be the main issue with coils. If I spend that much money I'd probably want to buy coils, exhaust, etc, etc for my Vert. Was thinking OEM M37xS springs would be cheap if I found someone that had removed them.
