Default Rinspeed Lowering Springs-Need Help

I have a 2006 C4s Cab and I am looking at the Rinspeed lowering spring kit. Apparently this will lower the car by 3/4 inch all around and will maintain PASM.

I am looking for anyone who has had experience with the Rinspeed lowering springs. Would like some feedback on them. I am working with Motorform USA here in Southern California. Anyone have experience with them?

I'm surprised that no one has put Rinspeed springs on their P-car?

I just installed the Cargraphic springs which lower an "S" by about 3/4 inch. The car looks so much better and most surpringly, the ride is nearly identical to stock. In fact, I'd say it might even be a bit more compliant over small bumps and expansion joints. The springs are made to Cargraphic spec by H&R and I suspect they are a progressive type that allows them to be compliant on little bumps and still stop the big hits. Springs were $389 plus tax and shipping and install was $1100 including alignment. Pics will follow after this weekend.

No problems at all. I've hit some serious bumps and dips that probably pushed the shocks to the bump stops and I've had no errors or unexpected consequences. The springs have an excellent feel and are very progressive, i.e. compliant on the small bumps but still capable of stopping the big hits without harshness. I don't normally offer cheap accolades but I will say these springs have exceeded my expectations so far.
