    Nope, mine is on Tein SS, but not far off stock ride height due to my bodykit and all the humps where I live. There are a number of us on ROC who have these and most run with the TTE lowering springs which gives a drop of 30mm. As far as I know, the guys who have them wouldn't swap back, though they do accentuate the understeer characteristics of the Roadster a bit. More so with a little extra weight as I have, but the grip and adaptation of driving style sorts things out. I did an airfield day a few weeks back and my times on the little sprint courses were equal to the very fastest Roadster present ( experienced at the course etc) and a bit better than a Porsche 911, so overall very pleased with my handling now.
    Alignment was key to getting that sweet spot though, and I than Matt from AFR tuning for his very thorough geo check and adjustments for that.
