    Standard height here also - with a front splitter.

    Last Saturday the front nearside coil collapsed resulting in a nightmare recovery loading scenario. There was no clearance with the splitter and it took 1/2 hour to load with me lifting the splitter up whilst the recovery guy winched the car onto the low loader. There was literally no clearance at the front and the guy was shaking his head. He'd called for an alternative lifter truck which was going to take three hours to get to me, before I persuaded him to give it one last go...

    Much as I'd like to - no lowering for me. It's great until something goes wrong.

          Twice over the weekend my standard sprung DS3 rubbed on a car park ramp and exiting somewhere, if I'd had the Triple R splitter on that would have been traumatic I like the look of the lowered DS3s but given there are lots of traffic calming measures on my daily commute I don't want to spend the £'s on something that will be a pain every day....

            My thoughts exactly, I need to compare the ride height of mine to the Performance so I know if it will be ok to get to work in. Saying that, the boss' Maserati makes it so I'll probably be fine.

              I'm getting mine lowered this Wednesday and there are a lot of speed humps near where I live, Iwill let you know if the car makes it home in one piece.

                      The ride is firm but not shake your eyes out of your head firm, you just point and go around corners with no roll

                            Yeah that looks good, will be interested to hear if you find the ride ok for everyday use, my wife's old Corsa had very small springs and it became a pain on long journeys as you felt every bump in your teeth !
