Looking to lower the rear only but I don’t want a harsh ride. So my question is are the UK spec rear springs lower and have the same stock ride quality?

 

No mention in parts book of different parts for different markets.
If your car is a convertible you may get away with using coupe rears but otherwise off the shelf might not be what you need.

 

I highly recommend the Adamesh springs, and they have sets of all 4 or rear only options.

In the survey I did before buying, Adamesh was the smallest drop I found at 1”. Really evens out the looks of the car front to rear and doesn’t hurt the ride in any way that I noticed.

 

+1. I use Adamesh springs front and rear, improves looks without ruining the ride quality

 

Have those of you who have lowered their X100s found yourselves scraping the bottom of the car more often?

 

No. Ground clearance is still way better then the average car

 

I have adamesh, you can lower more if you wish with other springs but for me handling, looks and ride improved.. i then also went poly everything.. harsher but more fun and no scrapes

 

i thought the US market springs were taller so we could put snow chains on.

 

I looked into aftermarket and might still go that way if I must.

 

Adamesh rear lowering springs here, with Ceika coilovers. No compromise on ride quality.
